Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 385 Warm Years, Saying Goodbye to the Old and Welcome the New (3)
Pei Yan rubbed his sore face, and deliberately blackened his face, "You are really ruthless!"

Ji Chonglian pursed her lips indifferently, "How can you relieve the pain in my heart if you are not ruthless? Do you know how painful it is to have a baby?"

Pei Yan suddenly realized, "It turns out that you didn't have children because you were afraid of pain? Then let's hire more stable women, including the stable woman who delivered my sister. She is skilled at midwifery, and none of the pregnant women under her care had a difficult birth."

"Let's talk about it at that time, this matter has not been affected yet!"

Ji Chonglian interrupted Pei Yan with a smile, and seeing him like a deflated ball, she took the initiative to lean in front of him, kissed him here, rubbed his place, and after a while, the two husband and wife laughed together again.

In fact, either Ji Chonglian doesn't want to have a child, or she is afraid that she will be born too early and her bones will be unhealthy. However, she will be seventeen in a few years. Although she is still young, she can think about it. This child will not be conceived in a short time. , or stop the contraceptive decoction from now on, it will take a few months for this body to recover.

Seeing that Pei Yan loves children so much, she had to sacrifice a little.

The days passed day by day with joy and enrichment, and in the blink of an eye, it was December, and the New Year gift givers from various families in Liangcheng also started to move, and Ji Chonglian also received letters from Danyang and Shangjingcheng.

After Ji Furong married into the Zhao family, everything went well, she got along well with her parents-in-law, Ling Geer also liked to be close to her, and she didn't plan to have any children, the mother said that her miscarriage hurt her body, and the children might be difficult, Ji Furong doesn't care about these things anymore, God has saved her misfortune, and gave her such a good son as Brother Ling, even if she doesn't have another son in the future, she doesn't have any regrets.

Looking at the letter, Ji Chonglian felt a little sad and sad, but everyone has their own destiny, and some things can't be forced, and Ji Furong's happiness in life now is the best.

Hu's letter said that a family has been settled for Ji Chongtian. The girl is one year older than Ji Chongtian. Her surname is Wan. Her ancestors lived in Zhangzhou. The eldest daughter of the concubine in the family is a good match for Ji Chongtian's identity.

A high family marries a daughter, and a low family marries a daughter-in-law.

I heard that President Wan agreed to this marriage because Ji Chongtian had a brother-in-law who worked under King Yan's command. Of course, he was referring to Pei Yan, otherwise Yi Ji Mingxuan's white father, which official family would be willing to marry their children.

Miss Wan has already reached the age of Ji, and the wedding date is set at the end of next year. Regardless of Ji Chongtian's young age, there is someone in the house to control him. I don't ask him to study hard, but I hope he doesn't cause any trouble, and he can be safe under the protection of Ji's family. Lived a life well.

Hu's letter also included a letter from Ji Chongyu, which was nothing more than asking if Pei Yan treated her well, whether life in the Northwest was hard or not, and said that he would study hard and take her back to enjoy the blessings when he became an official.

Ji Chonglian looked at it and laughed, but when she smiled, the tears flowed down unconsciously. Ji Chongyu is now sensible and considerate. Worry is always indispensable. I am afraid that in the future, only when Ji Chongyu marries a daughter-in-law and starts a family can she truly settle down.

In a twinkling of an eye, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the Kitchen God. Originally, when I was in Danyang, there was a custom of eating fried corn during the New Year. There is a folk saying that "23, don't eat fried corn, and the New Year's Day - pour it in one pot". Every family likes to fry corn. The corn is bound with maltose, frozen into large pieces, and tastes crisp and sweet.

However, in Liangcheng, every household wants to steam steamed buns, which are generally divided into two types: worshiping gods and visiting relatives. Jun.

"One family steams steamed buns, neighbors come to help", this is often a great opportunity for cooks to show off their dexterous skills, a steamed bun is a handicraft.

Sister-in-law Liang is now in charge of the kitchen and the embroidery workshop. At such an important moment, she has to be a little nervous. Liang Fen and Lin Tao both go to help.

Caiqiu brought freshly prepared stove candy from the kitchen, and Ji Chonglian took a few candied melons stuck with sesame seeds to amuse the children to eat and play. Mouth addicted.

Zaotang is actually a kind of maltose, which is very viscous. It is called "Kanto sugar" when it is drawn into a long stick, and it is called "tanggua" when it is drawn into an oblate shape. It is placed outside the house in winter, because The weather is cold, and the candied melon is solidified and has some tiny air bubbles inside. It tastes crispy, sweet and crispy, with a unique flavor.

Eating the steamed buns and stove candies, the day was enjoyable. Except that Lin Tao pinched the steamed buns and An Ye ridiculed them as four-faced. Although Liang Fen's cooking was not exquisite, it was quite satisfactory. After praising her, Liang Fen blushed a little embarrassedly.

When the auspicious time came, Mrs. Liang led the people in the kitchen to hold the stove sacrifice, and then formally began to make preparations for the New Year.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, almost all the people in the house mobilized to sweep the dust. This is the most important activity at the end of the year. It is called "sweeping the house" in the north and "dusting the dust" in the south.

Thoroughly clean the outside and inside of the house, in front of and behind the house, to welcome the new year.

The custom of "dusting and sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month" has been around for a long time. According to the folk saying, because "dust" and "Chen" are homophonic, sweeping dust in the New Year has the meaning of "removing the old and bringing the new". "Poor luck" and "bad luck" are all swept out.This custom entrusts people's wish to destroy the old and establish the new and the joy of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

On New Year's Day, Dongfang Tou, relying on his status as a loner, naturally came to Pei's mansion for the New Year's Eve dinner. Originally, the mansion was sparsely populated, so Ji Chonglian naturally welcomed Dongfang Tou's arrival, and asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes. One of them boiled the hot pot.

There were no people on duty in the mansion, Ji Chonglian released them all early to celebrate the New Year.

The hot pot was placed in the flower hall of the main house, and there was no brazier in the room because there were earth dragons. Ji Chonglian was afraid that the heat from the hot pot would not be able to escape, so he ordered Caiqiu to open two side windows.

Dongfang Tou was blushing from eating, rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the mutton with Pei Yan. Ji Chonglian looked at Zhile from the side. In order not to be affected by them, she specially asked Caiqiu to serve her the cooked vegetables A bowl, she brought it to the side table and sat alone to eat.

When the two men regained consciousness after fighting for a while, Ji Chonglian had already swallowed the fruit of victory.

"Sister-in-law doesn't wait for this?"

Dongfangtou pursed his mouth in grievance, like a child who can't eat candy, Ji Chonglian grabbed a handful of Yitang from his sleeve pocket and gave it to him, smiling: "Here, sister-in-law will reward you!"

The corners of Dongfang Tou's mouth twitched, did Ji Chonglian regard him as a child like a brother from the Mu family?

Pei Yan laughed at the side, not forgetting to take advantage of Dongfang Tou's stunned opportunity to pick up another bowl of meat and vegetable dishes for Ji Chonglian, and handed it to him, "Lian'er, come and eat more!"

Ji Chonglian naturally smiled and Mimi accepted all the orders, Dongfang Tou was so angry that she grinned aside, "It's not fair that you two are a couple!"

"If you want to be fair, marry one tomorrow and go home. Don't always look at other people's happiness and be envious!"

Pei Yan rolled his eyes at Dongfang Tou, calmed down, and continued to circle the dishes in an unhurried but surprisingly fast manner. The kitchen was already scattered, and it was impossible for Dongfang Tou to add food if he was not full. He just cared about the couple, If Dongfang Tou is not full, let him eat Yitang!
Stimulated by Pei Yan's words, Dongfang Tou seemed to have thought of something, and sat down on the stool. After a while, he still sighed.

Ji Chonglian glanced at him, and couldn't help being suspicious, this kid is thinking about Ye Jinyu, isn't he?

But now even if Dongfang Tou wants the prodigal son to turn back, it's too late, the Ye family is already preparing to recruit him, unless Master Dongfang is willing to let his son marry him, but thinking about it, he knows that it is unrealistic.

Pei Yan calmly handed a bowl of food to Ji Chonglian again, she pursed her lips and smiled, she couldn't eat any more, turned around and handed it to Caiqiu, behind the screen, An Ye, Lin Tao and the others were also sitting The hot pot is served on Xiaozhuzi, but the dishes are not as complete as theirs. Now that they are cooked here, they are ready to be shared.

Dongfang Tou sighed that after thinking about it, he just wanted to raise his chopsticks to eat again, but found that there were only floating vegetable leaves and shallots left in the pot. Once he worked it, it was soup, and after another scoop, it was still soup. In a blink of an eye, he saw Pei Yan eating slowly. He piled vegetables as high as a hill, his eyes turned green, and he yelled, "Give me back my vegetables!"

There was a burst of crackling in the flower hall, and Ji Chonglian turned her head to see that the two of them used the ivory chopsticks in their hands to perform a martial arts show, just for which one could get the food into their own bowl.

Hearing the sound from this side, the people on the other side of the screen poked their heads out, and An Ye couldn't stop shouting hello!

Dongfang Tou became even more enthusiastic. The two of them were on par with each other. Either Pei Yan grabbed a coriander ball, or Dongfang Tou caught a piece of ham, and the dish was gradually divided into two sides. Did not fall to the ground.

Both Lin Tao and Liang Fen couldn't help but brought the little scorpions over, and sat there eating and watching, with relish.

Are these two men, or two older children?

Ji Chonglian smiled helplessly, but the festival was finally full of laughter and laughter, which lasted for a long time.
