Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 249 The Golden Years (Part [-])
New Year's Eve

Everyone gathers around to watch the New Year in a greenhouse in Biboju. Watching the New Year is boring, so they just eat dumplings and hot pot.

A large and turntable ancient solid wood round table was born, and everyone sat on the official hat chair, using long chopsticks, forks, and long-handled spoons one by one, and started a lively activity of grabbing meat and vegetables.

"I said, can you be a bit human, my Yue'er is pregnant! Can't you eat spicy food instead of the clear soup here?" Yu Liuzhao is really shameless. So, he took his daughter-in-law to the king's mansion to join in the fun and watch the new year.

"Your Yue'er is pregnant, and mine is also pregnant. Who is not the same person?" Li Haoyue didn't care about him, he stood up directly, and used a fork to remove the boneless pork ribs, old hen legs, etc. Take it out quickly with a big bowl.Of course, there are vermicelli and cabbage, which are delicious and nutritious.

Yu Liuzhao also held a large bowl in one hand and a colander in the other, which is called an inhumane animal.

Gu Xiangsi was stunned. The soup base of this pot of hot pot was prepared by her prescribing someone to cook it with several old hens for several hours. Can they still have some remnants of humanity? Make up!
The hot pot here today is really grand, and Xilingyan doesn’t know who to order this five-chain red clay stove. The base is still a black stone, and I don’t know what material it is, but it’s smooth and strong anyway. .

The red clay five-yuan stove is placed on the stone slab on the turntable, and five hot pots are placed on it, ranging from clear soup to slightly spicy to super spicy.

Of course, there is also a seafood pot with a clear soup in the middle, which is used to cook dumplings.

This kind of hot pot is in the shape of a five-petal plum blossom and is steaming, which still has a luxurious Chinese New Year atmosphere.

They, a group of young people, got together to join in the fun regardless of gender.

And Ning Yezi and the others, the elders, were at the other table, watching with a smile as a group of older children messed around. They ate very peacefully, and there was no such thing as grabbing food.

Wen's, Han's, Shen's couple, Ning Yezi and Feng Qiji, and Luo E.

Luo E is a reckless man. Ever since he lost to Wen, he has always had other thoughts about Wen. Until a few years ago, a wealthy businessman wanted to marry Wen as his successor. The tiger tooth necklace around his neck was handed over to Wen Shi, and he formally proposed to Wen Shi.

At that time, Wen Shi was really ashamed and angry, she originally wanted to reject the rich businessman's marriage proposal, but before she could say that, Luo E rushed in impulsively.

As for the meaning of the tiger tooth necklace?It was only later that she found out that the first animal that Luo E hunted as an adult was an adult male tiger. At that time, he almost died in the mouth of the tiger, but finally relied on his perseverance to kill the tiger and pull it up. The four fangs of the man, together with the turquoise, which represents warmth and vitality, and symbolizes auspiciousness, eternity and success, are woven into this very meaningful necklace.

The old man of Beiju told him that wearing turquoise will fill your life with love, avoid all accidents and misfortunes, and bring good luck.

This is also why the warriors of the Beiju Kingdom would go into the mountains to hunt a ferocious beast when they came of age, pull out its fangs, string them into necklaces with turquoise, and hang them around their necks until they met a woman they wanted to marry. One of the reasons why I took it off and gave it to her.

If the girl can accept your love, it is naturally the best.

If not... eh?Maybe it's because you don't think the beast you hunted is ferocious enough, so you can only go back to the headhunter and propose marriage to her.

If you can't catch it, replace it!

At that time, Luo E thought that Wen's disliked that the tiger he hunted was not strong enough, so he would headhunt the big white bear later, and give her the white bear's fur as a bride price.

But in Xihe Kingdom, there are only black bears and no white bears, but women with black bear fur don't look good in clothes. He thinks that after returning to Beiju Kingdom, he hunts out a white bear, and then proposes marriage to Wen.

But now, he could pursue Wen's, so he had the cheek to sit at this table.

Mrs. Han pulled Wen's and whispered: "Second Sister, this silly big man seems to really care about you, don't you really think about him? Well, although he has a big beard, he looks a little untidy , sloppy... Alas! Forget it, let's find a refined one!"

"Mrs. Han, although I'm not gentle, I'm not sloppy. I only keep this beard because I want to be powerful in war. If Ashu doesn't like it, I'll just shave it off later." Luo E is a martial artist As a human being, Beiju Kingdom has been facing those ferocious beast attacks all year round, so its ear strength and acuity are naturally much more sensitive than ordinary people.

"Oh, then go ahead and shave! Remember to clean yourself up, don't dress like a hunter all day long, so many people who want to marry the second sister don't regard you as a threat." Han said with a smile, This is really for his own good, with his attire, who would treat her as an opponent?
I haven't seen him say it outrageously many times. He is also the one who pursues the third sister. Don't all those wealthy businessmen take him seriously?

Luo E thinks about it carefully, everyone is wearing silk and satin, bringing servants and gifts to show courtesy to A Shu, but he is dressed like a hunter, not taking anyone with him, and going there with both hands, it is indeed a bit disappointing It's all over.

Wen Shi smiled helplessly and gave Han Shi a look, she would bully this fool. If he really shaved off the beard that he had grown for many years later, let's see what she would do then.

He is a general of the Beiju Kingdom, what does he want to look good, what he wants is to be able to be fierce and frighten the enemy.

If he really became a pampered, rich and idle person, then what dignity would he have in fighting in the future?
The Han family is really for the Wen family's good. If the Wen family can get along with Luo E, Sheng'er doesn't have to think twice about the choice, and just lead the team to Beiju country.

Well, this time the exchange students from the four countries, Xiga country will send out four teams, and who will lead the team is still under discussion.

However, Xilingchu was very satisfied after reading some of the laws of intermarriage between men and women compiled by Gu Yusheng, and felt that Gu Yusheng should be able to take on the role of leading envoy with Gu Yusheng's talent.

So Gu Yusheng became the first envoy to lead the team, there are three others, it is not yet known who to choose.

This time it is an exchange of new academic ideas and new ideas. Xiling Chu intends to use young people instead of some old masters.

But among the younger generation, it is difficult to choose a stable, reliable, and good-natured son of an aristocratic family.

Because if you want to go on an envoy to another country, the leading emissary should not be too lowly in status, and must be selected from the children of the aristocratic family, or the family of officials above the third rank of the imperial court.

I don't care about the concubine, but this person must be reliable and must be able to take on this responsibility.

In this way, isn't Xilingchu, the emperor, dying of worry?
"Hey! Don't grab my crab legs, I just cooked them!" Bei Gongzhen has been eating these seafoods before, because although there are many seas in Beiju Kingdom, they can also cut ice to catch fish in the lake , but crabs and shrimps are hard to see!
Also because she seldom eats it, she especially likes seafood.

Today, she ate almost all of these big crab leg meat, as well as the shelled and cut lobster meat.

Shui Canghai is the kind of person who eats without raising his head. The contents of the pot are always being placed, and the soup is gurgling. Whether it is vegetables or meat, it will be ready to eat soon.

There are also many ingredients prepared on the long table next to them. If they don't have enough to eat, they can go and cook them by themselves.

Anyway, there is no one to serve them today, and it is New Year's Eve, so why not give the whole house a holiday?

Dongfang Ao is not used to eating like this, he would sit there all night, if Dongfang Xian didn't help him scoop up food and put it on the plate, he would starve himself to death.

Dongfangxian is also very helpless, this cousin has such a virtue, I don't know if it is because he has killed too many people, his cleanliness is really serious.

Didn't you see that everyone didn't touch one of the hot pots with wolf heads?This was specially prepared for Dongfang Ao, his cousin.

Xilingyan sat between the three of their mothers, taking care of their children, and at the same time preventing his concubine from fighting with others.

"Ayan, try the meatballs I made, they are really delicious." Gu Xiangsi has a big belly, and dares to stand up and fight with them. Anyway, the hot pot of old hen soup belongs to the three pregnant women. Liu Zhao and Li Haoyue are too shameless, she must not let them go.snort!

Xiling Yan tilted her head and took a bite, without burning her mouth, she swallowed and chewed, and smiled softly at her, as if her daughter-in-law loved her.

Before, Bei Gongli thought it was not good to let the meeting go too far, but when he saw that they all turned into wolf cubs, how could he still abide by the gentleman's demeanor?
Besides, the Beiju people are naturally heroic, so why can't they save them as well as the Xihe people?
Eat when you eat, grab when you grab, who is afraid of whom!
Qin Sancai was taking care of Baozhu, but he had always been very gentle and polite, it was the fork in his hand that made him really good, every fork was accurate, the big plate and bowl in front of Baozhu were almost full.

Mr. Xiling admired his cousin who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger so much that he lowered his head and shared the food with his sister.

Xiling Yan looked at the scene where his daughter and son were sharing delicious food, and he felt that his son and daughter no longer needed his care, and the three were worth each other, so he should take good care of his pregnant wife!
Qin Sancai stood all the time with a smile on his face, very gentle and elegant, like a gentleman, but what he did was not a gentleman at all.

Dongfang Ao was sitting next to Qin Sancai, he kept staring at this kid, his hands were really ruthless, half of the vegetables and meat vermicelli he put in by himself was taken out by him to feed Baozhu and his brothers and sisters.

Dongfang Xian took care of her awkward cousin while eating, and didn't even notice how much food Qin Sancai quietly picked up.

Mr. Huayuan noticed Qin Sancai's excellent use of the fork and spoon early in the morning. This kid is a martial arts prodigy, especially that kind of underwater kung fu, and his hands and feet are clean enough.

"Young man, eat, it's getting cold." Bei Gongzhen is a kind girl. Although she kept yelling at everyone to grab her food, she still took care of Mr. Hua Yuan who was inconvenient and helped him all the time. Scoop food onto a plate.

"Thank you, Princess Tianyue." Huayuan-jun can actually take care of himself, because his wheelchair is raised very high, he sits like everyone is standing, and the chopsticks are long enough for him to pick up food from the hot pot.

What's more, there is a colander and fork in front of him, which is even more convenient.

But for Bei Gongzhen's kindness, he was still very grateful.

Qin Sancai was adding food again, and he still went from the long table over there, it was all good things.

"Wow! Sancai, you are so well-behaved and sensible." Li Haoyue praised Qin Sancai, this kid is really good, he brought so many things, and put them in four hot pots.

By the way, there are also dumplings. Sancai wants to eat dumplings?Such a quick staple?
Yu Liuzhao and the others also felt that Sancai was really a good boy, only Dongfang Ao stared at Qin Sancai with a gentle smile on his cold face, this boy was almost as treacherous as Gu Xiangsi.

Mr. Huayuan just smiled and said nothing. Although Qin Sancai would fork away a lot of food, they still ate, so he didn't expose him and let everyone beat him up.

Ning Yezi and the others were eating and drinking, and chatted about the past of their youth one by one.

Like this group of children, they also had a presumptuous youth, and also had an innocent and extremely satisfying childhood.

Now, they are middle-aged, their children have grown up, they have a family, and they have the next generation. What about them?hehe!When encountering an interesting lovesickness, it is time to seize the opportunity and, like Shen Shi, look for the happiness of the rest of his life.

"Hey! How many chicken legs have you eaten? Do you still want to eat?" When Gu Xiangsi yelled, she immediately took the chicken leg from Yuliu Zhao's colander without fear of burning her hands.

A total of five old hens were boiled, and she left the chicken wings and legs, and the chicken racks were carried by Mo Qulian Tang to have hot pot with them.

But these ten chicken legs and ten chicken wings, she only ate two chicken wings and one chicken leg. They are all bandits!So grab her chicken leg.

Xiling Yan hurriedly brought the bowl to her to continue, isn't she afraid of being scalded?
Gu Xiangsi was also afraid of being scorched, but she counted it. This is the last chicken leg, and if you don't grab it, it will be gone.

After Yu Liuzhao and Li Haoyue were stunned for a moment, they immediately began to add ingredients to the hot pot again, instead of chicken legs, they should eat something else, and they don't have to have chicken legs.

Xiling Yan helped Gu Xiangsi to sit down, didn't she feel tired when she stood and fought with them for food all night?

Gu Xiangsi is really tired, after all, her stomach weighs dozens of catties!
At the end of the meal in the greenhouse, everyone took off their coats.

Bei Gongzhen, this girl, started to drink, she was so arrogant.

Gu Xiangsi couldn't drink, so she taught them wine punching, dice throwing, and guessing.

In short, everyone has seen a different town princess.

Dongfang Ao looked at the helpless Xiling Yan. As a daughter-in-law, it was obvious that she was born as the wrong daughter. If she was born as a man, she would be a playboy who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Ning Yezi was a little worried about her daughter, where did she learn all this, why did she act like a street gangster?
"Come, come, buy big and buy small, I'm determined to leave!" Gu Xiangsi sat up again, her dice playing was really at the level of a gambler, she turned her head to look at Dongfang Ao and shouted: "Hey, cousin, you Press big and small?"

Dongfang Ao didn't want to talk to her, a woman who can play dice so well, if she wasn't a female gambler who often hangs around the casino, his name would be written upside down.

well!The cousin is so pitiful, sooner or later this woman will lose all his family property.

Dongfangxian pressed a fiery red ruby ​​bracelet, and she pressed it big.

Mr. Huayuan also joined in the fun and pressed a pair of mandarin duck buckles, one of the gifts from Jinyan Tower.

Qin Sancai sat down and asked the two little guys to eat quickly, otherwise it would be cold.

Mr. Xiling has been feeding his younger sister shrimp, but this girl is too curious and wants to get involved in everything she sees.

If you have some orbs to eat, you don't want to watch the adults' commotion.

These masters are playing crazy in the greenhouse, and the servants are also playing crazy!

Mo Yun and Lie Feng cooked spicy hot pot, and Ye Linfeng was carried by the golden parrot.

Chu Qing and her group of orphans and little sisters also got together to celebrate the New Year's Eve.

Kong Taixuan usually looks very cold, but he still closed the door with the guard, enjoyed the snow and ate hot pot together in the gatehouse.

The doorman and the others ate mutton hot pot, and Sora Taixuan was not picky, and put some cabbage vermicelli, pork balls, and beef slices, which were also delicious.

With Sora Taixuan, the guards can rest assured to have a drink or two.

Without Sora Taigen around, they wouldn't dare to relax their vigilance.

Zhao Sheng and the others have a family and a courtyard, but each celebrates the New Year with their families.

King Zhen's mansion is very large, and the residences arranged for the servants are very good. Almost all of them are in the same mansion during the Chinese New Year. The mansion is really full of fragrance.

A group of people eat and drink, and play when they are full!
When the bell of Zhengzi Clock Drum Tower is struck, the year of the year will come.

"Hurry up, hurry up! The cannons are set off, the cannons are set off!" Gu Xiangsi immediately led the crowd and ran to the yard to light a few firecrackers.

Crackling sounds, the whole city is full of fireworks and firecrackers, accompanied by the bells of the Bell and Drum Tower, the new year is coming, the sky is snowing, and it is really auspicious snow that heralds a good year.

Yuliu went to light the fireworks according to the men, and the fireworks custom-made by the King's Mansion were naturally the most beautiful.

In Hua Wang Mansion, Huijia Dachang Princess Mansion, Hexi Wang Mansion, Ning Guo Gong Mansion and other major mansions, no matter whether there is a master or not, Zhenxihou Mansion also set off splendid fireworks.

Fireworks are set off in the palace on the street outside Qinglongmen. This is also because they are afraid that if they are too close to the palace, it will cause a fire.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Are these the fireworks in your Xihe Palace?" Bei Gongzhen saw the colorful fireworks blooming in the direction of the palace, it was really beautiful.

"The most beautiful fireworks in the palace this year are not colorful, but golden years!" Gu Xiangsi stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the palace. Sure enough, the fireworks that were set off next were golden, and huge golden fireworks bloomed, illuminating half of the west. In Lancheng, flowers rose and bloomed one after another, like golden rain falling, forming a giant dragon in the uppermost sky.

"Dragon, the dragon of Xihe Kingdom!" Wen Yan pointed to the majestic and majestic dragon, this was the first time she had seen such a huge dragon.

Ye Wuyue also admires the creativity of the ancients. Such a lifelike dragon firework can stay in the air for five seconds. I don't know how they did it?
The golden dragon dissipated without falling directly, but scattered like thousands of butterflies. Such a beautiful scene made the people of the entire city of Xilan cheer and shout.

The beauty of this moment shocked Gu Xiangsi and Ye Wuyue, the two future souls.
