Chapter 131 New Year’s Eve

Jiang Sheng can't control the rest.

Wen Shen's hands can't be that long. There must be something wrong with the girl next to Mrs. Wen.

After she left the Wen Mansion, she went to Wufangzhai and bought two boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cakes and brought them to Shanrentang. Doctor Liu was treating a patient, so she said hello and went directly inside.

Zhong Yi was reading a book. Jiang Sheng picked up the cake and waved it in front of her. When she looked over, he smiled and said, "Would you like some snacks?"

Zhong Yi was overjoyed, and her first sentence was: "I recognize Bai Qian and Bai Wei, they are easy to recognize!"

“Awesome!”

Jiang Sheng praised: "Reward you."

Zhong Yi looked at the cakes Jiang Sheng was carrying: "Brother Liu Qing and Xiao An haven't come back yet. I'll wait for them to come back and eat together."

"Then I'll put it here first."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "You continue reading, I have to go back and cut the window grilles."

After Zhong Yi responded obediently, Jiang Sheng returned home.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, it is necessary to settle annual fees, offer sacrifices, dust, paste wallpaper, paper windows, and put up window grilles... In previous years, the window grilles were cut into half, so Mrs. Hou probably saw that she had nothing to do, so she gave her this job.

.

It’s not difficult at all. You can cut it with just your hands. After tracing a complicated pattern, it’s also easy to cut it out with scissors and a carving knife.

The whole family of Jiangpinghou Mansion entered Little New Year's Eve in such a busy and lively manner.

Because Mrs. Hou said Jiang Yan would come, but seeing that he had not arrived, Jiang Sheng asked, "Isn't Jiang Yan coming?"

Mrs. Hou glanced at her: "You changed your tune quickly. Don't call Xiao Yan that way in front of him later. He will be so sad."

Jiang Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Hou thinks too much, and this is not something she wants to change.

"Oh, yes." Mrs. Hou then remembered, "I don't think I told you. Xiao Yan said that he would not come if he had something to do, and he also specially sent a New Year gift."

Alas, for such a good child, why did she insist on thinking that he had robbed Xiao Yan of his position as the heir apparent? Now, she really left, and even Xiao Yan was not willing to be with them.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Yan rushed in excitedly: "Mom, sister, look, I made a snow lion!"

He held a very small snow lion in his glove-covered hands, with a crooked nose and crooked eyes, and a big head that was teetering on its weak body. It was a little funny and a little cute.

Mrs. Hou then laughed: "I like to play with these shady things. Mr. Zhang said that he had a case with you some time ago, but you didn't help at all, you only knew how to cause trouble."

Jiang Yan snorted: "Master himself didn't even find out who did it!"

"Strong words." Mrs. Hou scolded him, "Then you didn't knead the snow lion well. Do you think this is a mane on this head? If you didn't say it was a snow lion, I wouldn't have guessed it."

Jiang Yan became anxious when he heard this: "It's not the same at all. I've worked so hard for this for a long time!"

Looking at the mane, this chubby head looks so powerful and domineering! He deserves to be the one who made it!

"Sister, tell me." Jiang Yan immediately sought confirmation, "Is this snow lion okay?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said against his will: "Okay."

Jiang Sheng gathered up his cloak and said, "I also piled one up. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Mrs. Hou shouted behind them: "Supper is about to be served. Come over quickly after watching."

Jiang Sheng turned around and responded loudly: "Be right back."

She took Jiang Yan to Xianyuyuan. Jiang Yan looked at the scenery around him and it became more and more strange: "Sister, where did you pile up the snow lions?"

"It's not a snow lion, it's a snowman." Jiang Sheng corrected.

"Oh good snowman, so where is it?"

"In Xianyuyuan."

"What?!" Jiang Yan's eyes widened: "Why did you pile the snowman there with Jiang Xian?!"

He grabbed Jiang Sheng's cloak, looked left and right, lowered his head and whispered, "You haven't been discovered, right? Let me tell you, last time Cousin Lin lived with us, she accidentally got lost and went to Xianyuyuan.

, she even went in directly, only to be driven out violently by Jiang Xian!"

Jiang Yan emphasized: "It's very fierce! Very fierce."

Jiang Sheng didn't know there was another thing: "How do you know so clearly?"

Jiang Yan took it for granted: "She said it herself. I think so. Huh, Jiang Xian's eyes can freeze someone to death, and his temper is so terrible. It's so scary. He doesn't look like he was born by his mother..."

Before he finished speaking, a faint voice came from behind: "Who do you think is scary?"

Jiang Yan froze on the spot for an instant, his eyes mechanically turning in the direction of the sound. When he saw a corner of bamboo and moon-colored fabric, he immediately jumped three feet away: "Sister, help me!!!"

Jiang Xian snorted and said casually: "You are fifteen years old, not five."

Believe whatever others say, you are naive.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiang Yan's appearance.

"Sister, you're out, I want to take Xiaoyan to see the snowman." Jiang Sheng tilted his head, "So what's going on with Jiang Conglin?"

Jiang Xian didn't say much, just said: "She came here on purpose."

Seeing that Jiang Xian had no intention of mentioning it, Jiang Sheng stopped asking. However, Jiang Xian, who had just left the yard, was pulled back again.

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the snowman. He put down his lion and curiously stepped forward to touch it left and right. The chubby snowman seemed dissatisfied under the abuse of his hands and clothes.

"Sister, you are too careless. These are clearly two snowballs with noses and eyes, haha."

Jiang Sheng: "...it might be more convincing if you remove your hand and say this again."

Jiang Yan chuckled and picked up his snow lion again: "I'll build one tomorrow too! This one looks much simpler than the snow lion."

Isn't it just two snowballs piled together? It's very simple. Wait for him to pile a big one tomorrow!

When they went back for dinner, Marquis Jiangping also arrived. He seemed very happy to see the three of them coming together: "Brothers and sisters should be harmonious."

Jiang Yan, who complained about Jiang Xian just a quarter of an hour ago: "..."

He walked away as if nothing had happened.

Mrs. Hou asked them to come and sit down: "There are many rules at the palace banquet. This is considered the New Year's Eve dinner. Eat more to have more than enough every year."

"This year I also bought shooting star fireworks. We can set them off together at the door later."

Jiang Yan was delighted: "Are there fireworks to watch?!"

It was said that they were allowed to set off the fireworks, but in fact, there were special people who made the fireworks in the middle like blacksmiths, and they were only responsible for watching from a distance.

But even so, Jiang Yan is still very happy. In previous years, she could only be seen on the street during the Lantern Festival.

After the meal was finished and it was completely dark, everyone gathered at the door. Following a series of operations by a dedicated person, the dark surroundings suddenly lit up.

Looking at the fireworks in front of him, Jiang Sheng walked to Jiang Xian and whispered: "The fireworks here are different from the ones we have there."

Even though I was very close to them, I didn't feel the burning heat. The sky was full of sparks raining down like stars falling. It was very quiet and gorgeous.

"Yeah." Jiang Xian turned his head and glanced at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng stood next to the fireworks with a smile on her face. The firelight made her face flicker, and the ocher cloak she wore became even redder.

Jiang Xian turned his head and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up.

After so many years since she came to this world, she finally had a good year.
