Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 562 Two phoenixes fight each other like a light on their backs (1)
This New Year's Eve was particularly cold, because without Pei Yan by his side, the entire General's Mansion was silent, except for the red lanterns hanging in the corridor, fluttering in the wind.

Sister Shuang is three years old, and Sister Zheng and Brother Yuan can also walk by themselves. When they see Ji Chonglian, they will call her "Mother" in a childlike voice.

The New Year gifts brought from Gansu were particularly rich, in addition to all kinds of dried game, there were also preserved fruits and candied fruit, a few pieces of top-quality white fox fur and gray mink fur.

Ji Chonglian gave one piece of white fox fur to Princess Minfu, another piece to the imperial concubine and empress empress in the palace, kept one piece for himself to make a small jacket, and gray sable fur made waistcoats for several children.

Gansu is also cold in winter. Fortunately, she has sent Pei Yan a few big woolen clothes a few months ago, as well as the padded jacket she sewed herself. Even Bi Yan and the Mu brothers did not leave behind. Should have received it.

Originally, Ji Chonglian wanted to take a few children to Danyang to celebrate the New Year, but thinking that this was Pei Yan's first New Year's Eve when she was not in Shangjing, if she also left with an excuse and didn't go to the palace to pay homage, there would inevitably be rumors. That's why he stayed in the general's mansion.

There were only a few people celebrating the New Year, except for a few children, Ji Chongyu and Princess Minfu's husband and wife gathered around the table, big and small.

Considering that Sister Zheng and Brother Yuan could not sit stably on the round stool, Ji Chonglian specially designed a children's chair for the master carpenter to make. There is a wooden surround in the front and a chair back in the back. The stool is flat so that the two children are not afraid of falling when they sit on it.

Princess Minfu walked around the children's chair, and couldn't help but praise again and again, "My sister will give me the blueprint sometime, and I will also make a few of these chairs for the children to use."

Ji Chonglian nodded with a smile, "I will prepare for you when you give birth later."

Princess Minfu smiled sweetly, "Then there will be sister Lao."

"What kind words did the family say!"

Ji Chonglian smiled and shook her head, then turned her gaze to Ji Chongyu again, "Didn't father write a letter urging you to go back this New Year's Day?"

Ji Chongyu is the face of the Ji family. I heard from Hu that Ji Mingxuan often brags about how great his son is among his relatives and friends in Danyang. Not to mention winning the first prize, he also married the princess. This is a rare happy event in a century, and it is enough for him to enjoy it It has been many years.

Ji Chongyu shook his head, with a bitter expression on his face, "Why didn't you urge me to go back, but I said that there was something in Beijing that I couldn't leave, so I pushed it away, and I will go back when I worship the ancestors next year, and then I will go back with my sister .”

"Yeah, it's time to worship the ancestors after the next year!"

Ji Chonglian sighed, and looked at Ji Chongyu with some relief, "Now that you are promising and have a family, I can have an explanation when I go to my mother's grave."

Ji Chongyu nodded with a smile, turned around and took Princess Minfu's hand, "It's been a while since we got married, after this year you will go back to Danyang with me to pay homage to your mother!"

"it is good!"

Princess Minfu responded with a smile, "I also miss my grandmother and the others, and the fruit wine made by the fourth wife is really delicious!"

After Ji Chongyu married Princess Minfu, Mrs. Ji and the others stayed for nearly a month before starting to return to Danyang. During this period of time, everyone got along quite happily, and the Hu family got along well with everyone. The Lord also liked her very much.

"Mom, can I drink fruit wine too?"

Sister Shuang blinked her eyes, grabbed Ji Chonglian's sleeve and shook her head, then leaned over to Princess Minfu, "Auntie, is the fruit wine sweet?"

"sweet!"

Princess Minfu smiled and pinched Sister Shuang's little face, "Fruit wine is sweet, but it is intoxicating. You can't drink it when you are young."

Sister Shuang was a little discouraged.

Ji Chonglian turned her head and ordered Liuli to serve freshly squeezed juice, and filled a glass for the children one by one.

Brother Yuan was eating the fish porridge fed to his mouth by his nanny. This boy had a good nose and smelled the juice, so he stopped drinking the porridge in a blink of an eye. He stretched out his little hand on the table, "Yes, yes!"

Sister Zheng drank a bowl of porridge, and the nanny wiped her mouth, and then she stared at the juice in front of her with a smile. Without her saying anything, the nanny picked it up and fed her.

"Look at the two of them," Princess Minfu covered her lips and smiled, "She is still a quiet and cute girl, Brother Yuan wants to be the first in everything, so naughty!" He said and nodded Brother Yuan's nose.

Brother Yuan was drinking fruit juice happily, when someone nodded his nose for no reason, raised his head to protest a few times, and then buried himself in the nanny's hand and worked hard.

It caused everyone to laugh, and the meal was enjoyable.

After the meal, Ji Chongyu asked the boy to bring some fireworks over, and lit them in the spacious yard. Several children watched through the window, and couldn't help clapping their hands and shouting excitedly!
Princess Minfu also had some itchy hands, and ran to the yard to set off fireworks with Ji Chongyu.

Looking at the colorful fireworks in the sky, Ji Chonglian quietly leaned against the door frame, her face glowed red against the backdrop of the fireworks, looking up, it seemed that Pei Yan's smiling face could be seen in every firework.

I don't know if there is another fire tree and silver flower in the sky in Gansu at this moment?

I still remember last year's Lantern Festival, when they walked hand in hand by the Dongcheng River, the river lights were like falling stars, drifting away in the river belt to the distance, which was her best wishes to her family and friends.

It's just that this year, I'm afraid no one will release river lanterns with her anymore.

In the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Ji Chonglian entered the palace neatly dressed, and Princess Minfu stood with her.

The empress is dressed in a splendid phoenix robe and presides over the prestige. The imperial concubine is graceful and luxurious, and her purple dress decorated with colorful glass beads is even more peerless.

After the wives visited one by one according to their ranks, the queen chose Ji Chonglian to speak out.

"Mrs. Pei has a heart. I heard that Mr. Pei only brought you a few white fox furs, and our palace only took two of them. It would be better if I don't know what to say." The queen said with a slight gaze. Scanning the imperial concubine, "Sister Fan, do you think so?"

"Madam Pei is indeed polite!"

The imperial concubine nodded with a smile, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "It's not easy for me to accept your things for nothing. It just so happens that I got a gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with treasure not long ago. This hairpin is very gorgeous and upright. Madam's temperament matches, so I took this opportunity to give it to Madam Pei!"

As soon as the imperial concubine finished speaking, the maidservant behind her came forward with a red sandalwood box in her hands. As soon as the box was opened, the hall was filled with light.

Ji Chonglian looked up and felt amazed.

This treasure-inlaid golden phoenix hairpin is made by hammering a whole piece of gold leaf. The upper part is a flame-shaped phoenix crown, and the tail is petal-shaped. The whole body is inlaid with nineteen red and sapphires, which looks extremely gorgeous.
