The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 74 New Year's Eve (2)
Wei Qi pouted, kicking and following behind.

There were some firecrackers piled up beside Ping An, and she didn't dare to take more. She gave some to the guards, but less to Ah Fu and the others. Each person only got one or two. This was just a novelty for the young masters. I'm afraid that if someone gets hurt.Dazhou's firecrackers are similar to firecrackers, but they only go off once, and when they are lit and thrown away, they will make a loud crackling sound.

Wei Qi took two firecrackers and challenged Wei Yi, "Do you dare to put two at a time?" The guards who followed were afraid that these little masters would get into trouble, and followed behind him to persuade them.

Wei Yi ignored him, he was holding a firecracker in his hand, and asked Ah Fu to bring some, and he would throw it. Ah Fu wanted to hold it by himself, but he stepped back and refused to let Ah Fu catch it, so he had to let one go like this.

"Hey, you really can't compare with me." Wei Qi leaned in front of Ah Fu and Xiao Huomiao without giving up.

Ah Fu slapped him on the forehead, "Don't make trouble."

Wei Qi rubbed his forehead, not annoyed, stood aside with a blushing face and looked at Ah Fu with a smile.

Wei Yi tightly clenched Ah Fu's hand, and pulled Ah Fu to his side. Wei Yu was still young and didn't dare to let go. He tightly grabbed Ah Fu's sleeve, leaned against him, and looked at the guards. The firecrackers were set off, and there was a shy but joyful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Many years later, Ah Fu still remembered the scene at that time. On the brightly lit square of the main hall, the firecrackers thrown out seemed to be shooting stars with noise, and they disappeared in a flash. Strength, warm palms, extremely warm.Wei Qi stood aside, under the candlelight, his exquisite appearance became more and more vivid and beautiful, his eyes were shining brightly, the corners of his mouth and brows were full of smiles, he turned his head and said something, but he was covered by the sound of firecrackers, but he didn't hear clearly His words, and Wei Yu, he has always been well-behaved, like a curious and frightened kitten, he dared to look out with confidence only by himself.

I didn't think so at the time, but later things changed and people changed, this scene was like a fantasy in a dream, and I felt melancholy when I thought about it.

After letting go of the firecrackers, several people sneaked back to the banquet. Princess Hua'an touched her hand, but it was not cold, so she pushed her a small bowl of hot soup, "Drink it warm, and the roasting will be finished in a while. Let's go to the grandmother's palace." Go watch the year."

The official of the time rang the bell, and everyone followed His Majesty to go out. His Majesty took the torch, lit the courtyard and recited some sacrificial rites, praying for good weather and good weather in the coming year. In a circle, I silently recited my New Year's resolutions.

This is the last part of the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve. After the roasting was over, all the ministers returned to their respective mansions. The old man of Gu’s mansion went to Xichuan and did not come back after the new year. There were no elders in Gu’s mansion. His Majesty told Gu Zhao and the others to stay in the palace. Watch the year together in the harem.

Gu Qiying followed her father and mother to the outside of the palace. It was already late at night, and after leaving the hustle and bustle of the palace banquet, she walked in the palace, feeling the coldness. She wrapped her cloak tightly, "Aren't uncle and aunt going back to the mansion?"

Shi Shi had quarreled with her husband in the past two days because she was in a bad mood, so she replied angrily: "Someone on the card is going to stay in the palace to watch the age, and the same surname is Gu...huh."

Gu Feng reprimanded: "Big brother married a princess, I married... Your father didn't even get to attend the palace banquet this year, right?"

Shi Shi quit immediately, "You are useless yourself, and you still dislike my family, the one you raised outside, is there any family affairs that can't be done?"

Regardless of being in front of Gu Qiying, the two quarreled like this.

Arguing and getting angry, "slap" Gu Feng slapped Shi Shi, and walked quickly in front of her. Gu Qiying looked at her father's relentless back, and saw her mother covering her face and cursing. Look at myself standing alone by myself.

Suddenly remembering that she had seen her aunt hugging Ah Fu, and her uncle following beside her, all three of them had smiles on their faces, she suddenly smiled.

Ah Fu didn't remember when she fell asleep, she just remembered that everyone was sitting around in the grandmother's palace talking and watching the new year, she ate several pieces of jellyfish, and was discovered by her mother, and then she directed Xiao Weiyu to help her Stealing candy, who knew that Xiao Weiyu ran straight to his mother, picked up the plate and ran away. After being stopped by Princess Hua'an, he lowered his head and hesitated to speak. After holding back for a long time, he finally cried He stretched out his hand to Ah Fu, "Cousin..."

Only the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Empress, a few boys, and the family of Princess Hua'an are the only ones keeping the old age in the Queen Mother's Palace. The adults are chatting, and a few children, led by Gu Qixuan, sit on the Arhat bed and play dice. The bet is the children. Gold beads in a pouch.

When the elder brother won, Ah Fu took the gold beads to his side, and then he played a few games by himself, but Ah Fu couldn't hold it anymore. He sat there still bit by bit, half asleep and half awake When he was hugged by his father and stuffed into the warm blanket, Ah Fu dragged his father's hand in a daze and told him, "Golden beads..."

Princess Hua'an couldn't help laughing out loud, and nodded her "little money fan."

"Look I'll win it back for Ah Fu." Today's Chinese New Year, Gu Zhao is also very relaxed, he rolled up his sleeves to take Gu Zixuan's place, the father and son joined hands, and within a short while won the gold beads of the three brothers Wei Yi gone.

"Put it in the purse for Ah Fudu, and give her a surprise when I get up tomorrow."Gu Qixuan packed the gold beads.

Wei Sheng also drank too much, even though he had used Jiejiu soup, he was still more 'lively' than before, and said: "Good Gu Zhao, you will even bully a child, watch me fight you today."

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Come on, I don't know who always asked me to win back when they lost money when they were young."

The Empress Dowager pointed at the two of them and laughed, "These two troublemakers..."

Princess Hua'an said: "It can be seen that everyone is living younger and younger. Another year has passed, and one year younger."

The queen also smiled and said: "Meiniang is right, you are a typical example, twenty this year, eighteen next year."

The queen mother laughed at the plant belly, and pointed to the sugar dish, "You two have sweet mouths, stop them with sugar."

After a while, His Majesty came back empty-handed, not to mention the gold beads were gone, even the purse was exported together, and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study just played for two days was also exported, if it wasn't for the sudden decision to run fast, the clothes on the clothes The jewel button had to be lost, so it can be seen that Gu Guogong is not bragging, he is indeed a superman in gambling skills.

Wei Sheng lost, and the children couldn't bear it anymore and were taken to sleep in the hall. Wei Sheng came over and complained, "Who did you say that Qi Xuan's character resembled at the beginning, but I said that he was the same as Ah Zhao. You still don't believe it, but now you can see it." Qixuan just magnified his evil and cunning side."
