Chapter 18 During the Chinese New Year

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the three families in the Shen family gathered together for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Early in the morning, Mr. Shen and his mother entered the palace with their makeup.

Every holiday, Chen Danxia has come to time and space for nine months. Although she has to tell herself to be at peace with the situation, she is also trying to adapt to this kind of life. But on this lively New Year's Eve, she began to miss her family in another time and space. When she was in danger, she had just graduated from college and started working, and she said to her parents shamelessly that she should make more money and let them enjoy their happiness. But before they could enjoy her blessings, she left and asked them to give them whites to blacks.

Perhaps because of his excessive thoughts, Chen Danxia was depressed. What Tao cared about the most was her children, and immediately noticed her changes. "Jiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Tao kissed her forehead, and it was not hot, and then touched her belly, which was a little bulging.

"Wuhan, do you think Jiuer has accumulated food?" Dow asked guessingly.

"I'll cook some hawthorn water for my sister to drink." asked Mrs. Qi.

Dow nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

The hawthorn water was frosted, but it was still sour. Chen Danxia, ​​who had been filled with a small bowl, decided that she should cheer up. She didn't see her mother regardless of the New Year, and she wanted to invite a doctor to come in to see her. She didn't want to drink bitter medicine. Besides, she would definitely not be able to return to that time and space to be filial to her parents, so be filial to this mother now, don't worry her.

Chen Danxia was energetic, so Tao was relieved and changed her clothes with great enthusiasm. Chen Muke was about to be in a state of justice before he came out of Dong Qixiu's room. When he entered the yard, he saw a bunch of brand new clothes on the kang. The little girl's clothes were embroidered with floral patterns and cloud phoenix patterns, luxurious and exquisite.

"She is a girl who is not yet one year old. Why do you make so many clothes for her? She can't wear it when she grows up, wouldn't it be wasted?" Chen Muke asked unhappily.

Tao didn't even give him the corner of his eyes, pointed at Chen Danxia's clothes and asked with a smile: "Xiao Jiuer, can you just wear this outfit?"

Chen Muke, who was ignored, shouted angrily: "Why don't you respond when talking to you? Your ears are deaf!"

Tao ignored him and helped Chen Danxia put on the red gold angel and Ruyi golden lock, picked her up, and handed it to the Shou Woman, "Hold the girl to find the two young masters."

The Shou Woman reached out to pick her up, Chen Danxia grabbed Tao's clothes and screamed. She was worried that Tao would suffer a loss when she angered Chen Muke. Tao understood her daughter's meaning and felt warm in her heart. Her daughter was still so young that she knew she would cherish her mother. She smiled and lowered her head to kiss her face, "Good Xiao Jiuer, my mother will go there later."

It was useless for Chen Danxia to stay. One reason was that she could not protect Tao, and the other was that she was taken to Dongguan Pavilion by the Shou Woman. Shen Baimi and Shen Baiyu were sitting in the room. Shen Baimi and Shen Baiyu sat on the kang and played chess. Chen Danxiu and Shen Dantiao sat on the chair with green embroidered flowers beside them, eating pine nuts. Chen Danxun was a little cold and stayed in Aunt Rao's room and did not come.

The brothers wore the same cotton robe as Shen Danxia, ​​with a big red cloud satin, gold-red embroidered bundle of blessing patterns. Chen Danqi and Shen Dantiao were also wearing new clothes, but the fabric was obviously worse than that of the brother and sister.

"Mom Shou, put your sister here." Shen Bomi moved out of the way.

The Shou Woman put Chen Danxia between the two young masters as she said. The two brothers stopped playing chess and started teaching daily, "My sister is called brother, I am the second brother."

"Sister, I am the third brother." Shen Baiyu said authentically without being outdone.

Chen Danxia looked at this and then that. Facing the eager eyes of the two, he tried hard to squeeze out his throat, "Gee."

The tone was incorrect, but Shen Baiyu, the sister-in-law, still shouted excitedly: "Sister will call her brother, and she will call her brother."

Shen Bomi ranked second in the family, and was the eldest son in the third room. He had learned to take responsibility for the eldest son, which was slightly more steady than Shen Boyu, but he also showed a happy smile. He turned his eyes and saw Chen Danxun's resentment expression, his eyebrows were frowning, and his eyes were slightly dark.

Shen Baiyu didn't notice this, and he was still asking Chen Danxia to continue calling him. Chen Danxia was as he wished, and he called him ten times until Shen Baimi stopped him. After a while, Tao came in, and Shen Baiyu immediately showed off, "Mother, sister can speak, she calls me brother."

"Really? Oh my goodness, I'm so capable." Tao happily picked up Chen Danxia, ​​kissed her pink little face hard, "Come on, call me twice."

"Gee, gee, gee, gee." Chen Danxia called out in a slight voice.

"It sounds so nice, be good, when will you call me mother?" Tao said with anticipation.

My mother's voice was a bit difficult, and Chen Danxia's tongue could not turn around. Tao was not disappointed, saying, "The girl can speak, it's a big happy event, and the three-bedroom yard has an extra month's monthly money."

"Thank you, madam, thank you, Miss Nine." The maid who was serving in the room said with a happy face.

Chen Danxia looked at Tao, with a bit of amusement and helplessness in her clear eyes. Her first tooth was also a great joy in her mother's eyes, and she also added a month's monthly money to her servants.

At this time, the bell rang gently. It was time to go to the celebration hall. Tao put on a cloak in a white fox with a big red feathered gauze and a snow cap made of fox fur. He was carried out by Tao and left the East Warm Pavilion.

The servants served Shen Bomi and Shen Danmei's sisters, put on their cloaks and snow caps, and followed them out. Chen Muke also walked out of the main house, and he also changed into new clothes, with a blue-green embroidered Shu brocade straight-fitting cotton robe.

Chen Danxia lay on Tao's shoulder and stared at Chen Muke. With his outstanding appearance, who would have thought that his character was so unbearable?

When they arrived at the Qingqi Hall, the people from the second room of the eldest and second room arrived. Old Master Shen and his mother sat upright in the seats, both wearing cotton jackets embroidered with royal blue tribute satin and embroidered with hundreds of infants. The people from the third room saluted the two in turn, sitting on the chairs on both sides of the left and right sides. Chen Danxia could not sit alone, but was held in his arms by Tao.

Zhou looked at Chen Fanxia's clothes, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. The third wife was really rich. Tao used to be casual, but since he got pregnant with this little girl, he became stingy. Is he saving money for her to dowry?

The servants in the mansion also went forward according to their ranks. Old Master Shen dispersed the New Year's money, purse and gold and silver croquettes. The maids brought in one after another with food boxes, served dishes and wine. Lin, Zhou and Tao were all standing beside Shen's mother, preparing to serve her for a meal.

Chen's mother raised her hand and said, "For the New Year, don't talk about those false rituals, just sit down and let the maid serve you."

The three of them thanked Chen's mother and sat down at the table. They didn't say anything. After the meal, the maid brought up new tea and snacks on a tray.
