The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 261
"Didn't I always tell you to walk steadily? Now you are disobedient and you stumble, who is to blame!" Walking in front of her daughter and pulling her up, Min Qinglan knelt down to avoid snowflakes on Jiaojiao's body, and said inappropriately. Forget about the children.

"It's good that the child didn't break. If the lantern burns, it will burn. There are still some in my aunt's room!" Su Xiazhi walked carefully to the main room with a steamed fish in her hand, and Min Qinglan hurriedly greeted her and took away the Plate: "I'll serve it, and you should also watch your feet carefully!"

Several people entered the warm main room together, and the smell of food in the room caused Min Qinglan's stomach to growl inappropriately, but fortunately no one else noticed, otherwise she had slept for so long and would eat ready-made food when she got up, not to be punished Are others lazy?

"..." At first, she was attracted by the dishes on the big table, but she didn't notice the bamboo basket hanging in the middle of the room. Min Qinglan put the fish on the table and walked over quickly, and said in a joyful voice: "Xia Zhi, this must be It's your idea! You said I've been wandering around the east room for a few days, why didn't I think of it!"

"It's a scholar who made it, I just move my mouth." Reaching out to touch a small package from the top of the cabinet standing against the wall, Su Xiazhi waved to Jiaojiao, whose face was covered with tears: "Girl, come here, look at this." What is it?"

"So many!" There were several colorful folded paper lanterns and a small pack of candles spread out in the baggage, Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she saw it.

"A set of nine suits, my aunt also bought one, enough for you to mention the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we are not afraid of burning, the more burning the day the more prosperous it will be!"

There are also such paper lanterns in later generations. When Su Xiazhi was still Xia Xia, she liked this kind of paper lanterns most when she was a child.

Every year, she would pester her mother to buy her several colors and shapes, hang them all over her room, and then light candles. She would look at the patterns drawn on the lanterns one by one, and feel that that is what the Chinese New Year should be like...

In this life, she is no longer an ignorant child, but she still stubbornly bought these lanterns back, maybe she just wanted to recall some shadows of the past in the swaying lights of various colors held by Jiaojiao.

"Sit down and eat." Seeing that the food was ready, Min Lansheng smiled and greeted them to serve.

"Is there someone knocking on the door?" Su Xiazhi just sat down when she faintly heard the knock on the door.

"I'll go and have a look. You've been busy all day, please sit down." Min Qinglan reached out and touched the ring on which her daughter was resting in the cradle. When she felt that it was loose, she got up and went to open the door.

"Big aunt!" Gao Yue's anxious voice sounded from the yard: "Don't worry, I'll go over with the bowls and chopsticks..."

"This kid! We won't let us go even in the [-]th year!" Su Xiazhi glanced at Xiucai and said with a smile, "It's as if we're rushing to eat."

The whole family and Gao Yue ate a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, stayed up late at night, and fell asleep in a daze.

Min Qinglan changed the two children into new clothes in the east room, held the little one in her arms, and followed Jiaojiao out of the room: "Let's go, let's pay New Year's greetings to uncle and aunt!"

In the main room, there was an incense table set up on the opposite wall, on which Father Min's memorial tablet was placed, and several tributes were solemnly placed on the incense table.

"In the past, I was the only one in the family during the Chinese New Year. Even if I worshiped the ancestors, I had to deal with it hastily." Min Lansheng nodded when seeing her sister come in: "Let's worship the ancestors first, and then give my sister New Year's greetings."

After lighting three standing incense sticks, Min Lansheng bowed three times to his father's memorial tablet with both hands twisted, then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner, took a few steps back, lifted his robe and knelt down.

Seeing this, Su Xiazhi and Min Qinglan behind him also knelt behind him.

"The ancestors of the Min family, my lord father, the unworthy descendant Lan Sheng, his wife Su and her sister worship all ancestors together! I pray that the ancestors of the Min family will protect the descendants of Zebei, and may the Min family continue for generations with endless children! "

The Min family's New Year's sacrifice to ancestor Min Lansheng was extremely serious.Kneeling on the ground, facing his father's tablet, he babbled about everything that happened this year.

This also includes the sister's reconciliation and his wife's pregnancy.

Min Qinglan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the tablet with her father's name written on the incense table. She felt shabby after her life was like this!

It's rare that Xianggong can say so many words at once, but Su Xiazhi didn't listen to a single word.I just feel that the scholar who is kneeling in front is talking like a big-footed mother-in-law now!And what's the use of talking to a piece of wood?
Staring at Min Lansheng's straight and slender waist, and then shifting his gaze to his round and upturned buttocks, Su Xiazhi's mind wandered recklessly, and began to imitate the fussy look of her husband when his butt was naked... …

"What are you laughing at, lady?" A slender white palm suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiazhi's dream, and she looked up at Min Lansheng in a daze and said, "Ah?"

Looking down at the lady's raised face, the scholar raised his eyebrows indiscriminately, first wiped the drool from the corners of her lips with the palm of his hand, and then helped her up: "Kneeling for a long time, does your leg hurt?"

He didn't say it was fine, but when Xiucai reminded him, Su Xiazhi immediately felt that his legs were numb and he couldn't control them, especially the knees were sore!
She swayed and fell directly into Min Lansheng's arms, so frightened that Xiucai quickly helped her to sit on the chair next to her, blaming herself in her heart: I'm all to blame!Knowing that the lady is pregnant, and saying so many things, she is usually the most tired of kneeling at every turn!
"Why are you crying?" Su Xiazhi, who had just sat down, turned her head and saw Min Qinglan standing beside the newly-made cradle wiping her tears. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. After thinking about it, she didn't think what Xiucai said just now was worth crying.

"It's okay, I just felt a little emotional when I heard what Lan Sheng said just now." Min Qinglan turned around quickly when she heard Su Xiazhi's question, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said embarrassedly: "I'm just a person with eye sockets." Shallow..."

"Huh?" Su Xiazhi frowned, looked down at the scholar who was rubbing her knees and asked softly, "What did you say? You actually made your sister cry."

Min Lansheng stood up slowly, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "My husband also wants to know what the lady was thinking just now..."
