Chapter 983 The Mysterious Visitor at the New Year's Eve Dinner

In the palace, some traditional customs are still preserved, such as setting off firecrackers and posting the Spring Festival.

The New Year's Eve dinner is the most important thing. The kitchen has been busy since early in the morning, and the dishes are comparable to a full banquet.

It was already afternoon when Su Jinyan woke up, and Xiao Han had already had food prepared, and when she woke up, she was brought over.

Ji Rongzheng had already lectured her before, Su Jinyan was pregnant with the grandson of Ji's parents, and she wanted to serve her like an old Buddha.

The New Year's atmosphere in the Wangfu is very strong. Nuoda's mansion is spotless, and there are lights and festoons everywhere. Being in it feels like traveling back to ancient times.

Su Jinyan had never celebrated the New Year like this before, and wandered around curiously.

Yanyan and Xiaohan followed her every step of the way, for fear of losing her again, mainly because the fourth young master lost his temper last time was too scary.

The New Year's Eve dinner is served in the main courtyard, which is spacious, with a table in the living room and a dozen round tables in the outside yard, which can accommodate hundreds of people.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the kitchen began to serve dishes one after another.

Yanyan was very excited when she got the news, she couldn't calm down anymore.

You must know that today is what she looks forward to most every year. Not only can she have dinner with her master, but she can also get a generous (year) year (year-end) money (award).

Yanyan has always been outspoken, and the key point is that she is not heartless. When it comes to this new year's money, Xiaohan hurriedly dragged her away.

Su Jinyan didn't think much about it at first, but when Xiao Han dragged him away, she lost her mind and hurried to find Ji Ce.

"Si Shao, do you have money?"

Looking at the woman who stretched out her hand towards him, Ji Ce didn't know whether he should praise her for her progress, since she already knew she was asking for money.

"Where's the card for you? Finished swiping?"

"No!"

Su Jinyan blinked her eyes. Apart from buying things for Ji Xiaoyan and subsidizing her family, she never used the money from the card herself.

And such a huge sum of money, it can't be spent in a lifetime!
Ji Ce looked at her strangely, "What money do you want before you finish spending it?"

"I'm asking if you have any cash on you!"

Su Jinyan told what happened just now, and Ji Ce said, "I really haven't noticed this, so, you can go and see if there are any red envelopes, and I'll ask my second child to get some cash."

Seeing Su Jinyan staring at him, Ji Ce asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Is it not good to take cash from the second brother?
Now the Fourth Young Master is unemployed and can only rely on his brothers to help him, Su Jinyan dare not hit him.

Ten minutes later, Ji Ce came back and threw a large bundle of cash to Su Jinyan, "The second child took it from the safe, spend it as you like, you don't need to save money for me, I am short of everything, but I am not short of money."

"..."

Su Jinyan looked at Ji Ce weakly, is it really okay to spend his brother's money like this?

It was already dark outside at 05:30, and the dishes were all served, so everyone hurried to call their masters.

Ji Qingsheng didn't have the habit of appearing at the finale. When Ji Ce and Su Jinyan came, he was already sitting in the main seat, wearing a suit.

It must be very tiring for him to manage such a big family by himself!

I feel that no matter when I see him, he always wears very formal clothes, as if he has to be vigilant at all times, even when it is Chinese New Year.

"Jinyan is here, sit down."

Ji Ce, who was ignored, was not sad, and pulled Su Jinyan over, "Where's the second child? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Ji Xiaowu immediately raised his hand and said, "I know, I know, the second brother must want to impress everyone, so he is still changing clothes."

"...If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Looking at Ji Ce who was grinding his teeth, Ji Ying shrank her neck, "Brother, fourth brother scolded me..."

Ji Qingsheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Ji Ce, "He's still young, don't scare him."

The corner of Ji Ce's mouth twitched fiercely, "Where is he so young?"

Ji Qingsheng glanced coldly, and could only swallow the rest of the words.

You want to wait for me, boy!

Taking advantage of Ji Qingsheng's inattention, Ji Ce gave Ji Ying a hard look. The man made a face at him, then turned around and complained.

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother threatened me. He stared at me just now. Will he beat me up while you're not around?"

"No, what do you say, fourth child."

Ji Qingsheng looked at Ji Ying with gentle eyes, but when he looked at Ji Ce, he was obviously not so 'gentle'.

Ji Ce's scalp tightened, and he looked at Ji Ying with a blunt smile and said, "Of course, how could I bully Xiao Wu? He is my 'dearest' brother."

He laughed so scary that Ji Ying was so frightened that she trembled all over, and hurriedly changed to the seat next to Ji Qingsheng, "Brother, don't believe his words, he lied to you, unless he is willing to swear!"

Ji Ce: "..."

If it wasn't for Ji Qingsheng's presence, Ji Ce couldn't help rushing over to beat him up now.

Seeing that Ji Ce's fists were tightly clenched, Su Jinyan quickly said, "Fourth Young Master can't! He even prepared gifts for everyone!"

Hearing the word 'gift', Ji Ying's eyes lit up.

Just seeing Ji Ce's forbearing face, he didn't dare to go over, and said with a flat mouth, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are lying! Fourth brother has never given me a gift."

"it is true."

Seeing that Ji Ce didn't move, Su Jinyan tugged on his clothes and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Young Master, didn't you ask someone to prepare a gift? What about the gift?"

Ji Ce really wanted to say he forgot, but seeing Su Jinyan's worried expression, he could only honestly say, "In the car."

"Then I'll get it."

As soon as Su Jinyan stood up, she was pulled back, and Ji Ce gave her a sideways look, "What are you going to do, sit down for me, and anyone who wants it can get it by himself."

"I me me!"

Ji Xiaowu obviously forgot the unhappiness just now, ran over and stretched out his hand and said, "Fourth Brother, the car keys."

Looking at the two rows of small white teeth in front of him, Ji Ce's eyelids twitched. He really knew what made this person's face, why is it so thick?
Ji Ying got the car keys and left contentedly, but Su Jinyan was a little uneasy, and didn't know what gift the Fourth Young Master had prepared.

Not long after, Ji Rongzheng came, walked up to Ji Qingsheng and sat down, "Where is our Fifth Young Master? Fourth, are you bullying him again?"

"What's 'again'!" Ji Ce was dissatisfied, "Which kid didn't come to provoke me? If he didn't come to provoke me, I wouldn't bother to talk to him."

That's why he went to provoke you!

Ji Rongzheng shook his head, "So what happened to him?"

"He went to the car to get a gift."

Fearing that the Fourth Young Master would confront Ji Rongzheng again, Su Jinyan spoke before him, "The Fourth Young Master prepared a New Year's gift for everyone, and Ji Ying went to get it."

"Fourth still has this heart?"

Seeing Ji Rongzheng's expression of disbelief, Su Jinyan looked at Ji Ce helplessly, Si Shao, your character is too bad!

Ji Ying came back after a while, and started yelling before entering the door, "Big brother, big brother, the toy gun that fourth brother gave me."

Toy gun?
Si Shao's gift is too foolish!

Seeing Su Jinyan's disappointed eyes, Ji Cejun blushed slightly, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't buy any toy guns."

Wait, he went to the car to pick up a present and ended up with a 'toy gun'?
"Put the gun down!"

Ji Ce suddenly yelled, startling Ji Ying, and turned the gun in his hand along with the others, "Fourth brother, what do you mean! Do you want to take back the gift you sent?"

Seeing the muzzle of the gun turn around, Ji Ce's scalp felt numb, and he quickly pulled Su Jinyan behind him, "Put it down, it's not for you."

"Tch, I don't believe it!"

Ji Ying was very satisfied with the 'gift' she found in the trunk, took a aim with the gun, and then asked a very naive question.

"Brother, is my posture with the gun handsome?"

Handsome ah handsome!
Even if Ji Ce didn't say anything, Ji Rongzheng could tell that this kid was holding a real gun.

Seeing that he was still aiming at people with a gun, Ji Rongzheng said in a flat tone: "Xiao Wu, your gun is not bad, show it to the second brother."

Ji Ying was happy to get the approval, and ran over to hand the gun to Ji Rongzheng. He had wanted such a gun for a long time, and it looked very real.

"Second brother, here it is."

Good things need to be shared, this Ji Ying has understood since she was a child.

Ji Rongzheng took the gun from him, weighed it in his hand, and skillfully removed the magazine.

Seeing this, Ji Ying said nervously, "Second brother, what are you doing, my gun."

Ji Rongzheng dodged his hand, "Your fourth brother is right, you can't play with this gun, so I'll give you a better one later."

After speaking, regardless of Jiying's objection, he handed the gun to the next servant, "Take it to my room."

Now it was Ji Ce's turn to be unhappy, "It's my stuff, why should I take it to your room?"

Ji Rongzheng pretended not to hear, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's serve dinner! Brother?"

Ji Qingsheng nodded, "I'll talk about it after dinner!"

"..."

Ji Ce looked at the two of them speechlessly, are you sure they are not 'protecting each other'?

It's obvious that there is no shortage of this gun, but you still want to snatch someone else's. I don't know what kind of wickedness this is.

Ji Ce didn't bother to pay attention to him, and reached out to pick up a piece of stewed meat with chopsticks, but before he could eat it, he heard a commotion outside, followed by someone coming in.

"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, how can we have dinner?"

Seeing the person who suddenly appeared at the door, Ji Ce's expression changed, and he put his chopsticks on the plate, "Third brother? You still dare to come here?"

Looking at Ji Chen, Ji Rongzheng smiled coldly, "It seems that this meal can't be eaten well, brother, what do you think?"

Ji Qingsheng looked at Ji Chen, and said blankly, "Since you're here, let's sit down and eat together! Archie, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the third young master."

"Yes, Mr. Ji."

As soon as Archie left, Ji Rongzheng stood up, "Maybe before eating, I need to have a good chat with my third child."

"Second!"

Ji Qingsheng picked up the chopsticks, his tone was calm, but he could not refuse.

Ji Rongzheng looked back at him, then sat down slowly.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside, "I told you not to worry! The brothers still love each other very much."

When hearing this voice, everyone's expressions in the room changed, except Ji Chen and Su Jinyan who knew nothing about it.
