Today is the thirty years old.

The Dingxi Marquis Mansion, which is not crowded, has also become lively.

After breakfast, the young couple took the initiative and posted couplets and benefits to the main parts of the family.

After posting, I worshiped my ancestors early before having lunch.

The whole family has changed into new clothes.

He also accepted the salutes of the servants at home and sent red envelopes one by one.

Then I started to prepare for today's New Year's Eve dinner.

Qiu Shubai and Liu Zimu, who lived in another yard, both took the red seal to the front hall.

"May you be happy and prosperous."

Qiu Shubai said, handing over the red envelope in his hand and a thick hat with exquisite workmanship.

"This is a red envelope for Xiaobao. My mother sewed the hat and asked me to bring it to Xiaobao."

Su Caier took it and stuffed the red seal into Xiaobao's small pocket again.

Then Xiaobao changed the hat and tried it on it.

Just right.

Qiu Shu, Bai Niang, has always been good at craftsmanship.

This looks much better than the hat sewn by Su Caier.

Su Caier simply asked Xiaobao to wear this new hat.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu and Aunt Lu."

Liu Zimu also gave Xiaobao a red envelope and gave him a woven red bracelet.

Liu Zimu said embarrassedly: "I don't have anything specially prepared at home."

"This is a bracelet specially bought for Xiaobao on the road."

Su Caier also took it and thanked him happily.

I tried it on for Xiaobao again.

However, the baby could not wear these things for a long time, so he quickly took them off and put them in Xiaobao's small pocket together.

Now, Xiao Douduo became bulging, and most of the red envelopes were exposed.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon.

Su Caier took Xiaobao who was yawning back to the room to sleep, while Zhao Ce stayed in the main hall to receive classmates who came to the door.

This time, a total of more than a dozen people from their academy came to participate in the spring examination.

Except for Mr. Song and Lun Mingyi, who have relatives in the capital, they are all alone.

But they are much better than the other students who came with them.

After all, they have a good classmate who can make themselves proud in front of everyone.

Most of the people who came to Xiaobao had red seals, and most of them had a copper plate in it, which was to give Xiaobao a small profit.

Zhao Ce accepted them one by one and let everyone sit down.

The New Year’s Eve dinner started earlier.

Before Shen, the sky outside was already dark.

The dishes were served one after another.

Zhao Ce raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Today's New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year in advance and pass the imperial examination next year!"

"Congratulations together!"

Everyone drank the wine in the glass in one go.

Zhao Ce accompanied them to have a few glasses of wine before saying goodbye to the room first.

Walking on the road, passing through the corridor, I saw snowflakes floating outside.

When I opened the door, a warm wind with a faint fragrance came to my face.

His Xiaobao and Dabao had just woken up and were playing in bed.

There was also a wealth of food on the table, waiting for the owner to taste it.

When Su Caier saw Zhao Ce coming back, she picked up Xiaobao and placed it on her baby stool.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "I drank some wine, but I didn't eat anything."

Su Caier said proudly: "Xiaobao just ate complementary food with meat soup, and it tasted so good." Feiquyin

"My husband also tried today's dishes, and there are a few dishes that I just went to the kitchen to make."

Zhao Ce sat down, Su Caier brought Xiaobao a small toy and let her play with it slowly.

The two of them officially began their New Year’s Eve dinner.

"It's New Year again, it's so fast..."

Su Caier sighed and poured wine for Zhao Ce.

"I hope my husband will pass the imperial examination next year!"

The two of them clinked their glasses and said that Su Caier could not drink alcohol and did not drink tea.

So the cup is filled with some sweet water.

After being bored, she continued: "I hope I can give birth to a big fat boy for my husband next year!"

Zhao Ce laughed and said, "Okay, after the exam, we have to work hard again!"

Su Caier said it was okay, but when Zhao Ce agreed like this, he felt a little embarrassed.

She whispered, "Well, then husband can eat more to have the strength..."

Zhao Ce laughed and said, "Okay, Cai'er also eats more."

"This way I won't be tired when I shout so quickly."

......

at the same time.

In Shuiqiao Village, every household is also immersed in the bustle of the New Year.

The crackling sound of firecrackers came one after another.

Zhao Youcai's family also built a more grand house this year.

Not long ago, I received the New Year’s goods sent back from the capital by Su Caier.

The New Year's goods they sent in the past probably arrived long ago.

After Zhao Youcai arranged for Zhao Wensheng and Zhao Wenhua to post Spring Festival couplets at home, he took Zhao Wenhao to Zhao Ce's house.

The father and son took action to tear old couplets for Zhao Ce's family and pasted new couplets.

Zhao Wenhao stood on the ladder, while Zhao Youcai was commanding below.

“Go up, right….”

Those passing by greeted the two and asked if they had worshipped their ancestors.

Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "I haven't worshiped yet."

"When I paste the couplets at Ce'er's house, I will go and worship together."

When the villagers heard Zhao Ce's name, they all laughed.

He kept complimenting at Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai was also so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

The group was greeting each other when they heard some gongs seemingly mixed with the occasional sound of firecrackers.

People in Shuiqiao Village are familiar with these sounds of gongs.

The person who was chatting with Zhao Youcai next to him curiously: "Is this the sound of a happy gong?"

"Is it possible that our uncle has made some contributions and rewards from the court?"

Zhao Youcai also thinks it should be.

As the two of them were talking, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

This is the person who notified the wedding before the team arrived.

The sound of horse hooves entered the village, and the people who were posting Spring Festival couplets in the village were all looking around curiously.

Zhao Youcai couldn't take care of Zhao Wenhao on the ladder, so he quickly asked the servants left behind in Zhao Ce's family to prepare things to welcome the good news.

As soon as he finished his explanation, he saw Zhao Wenhua running over panting.
