The second wife, Chen, said that she was worried about the second master, so she went back.

When we arrived in Beidingyuan, the banquet was ready early.

Sixteen cold basins were placed on the table, and men, east, women, and long tables were sat on both sides of the long tables.

Because the old lady didn't come, the main seat at the end of the long table was empty. Even if she was disgusting, she still had to have the filial piety she should have.

General Zhao was naturally the first place in the men's seat, followed by the crown prince, one by one, and the last one was Zhao Heming.

The first female chief was naturally Mrs. Zhao, and Xining sat next to Mrs. Zhao, and the third position was the prince's wife He. Because Zhao Heya was still young, she sat next to He for easy care. Zhao Yingxue sat in the fifth place, and Aunt Xu sat in the last seat.

Xining saw it, let alone, Aunt Xu is quite capable and can have a place to eat when eating. Most of the concubines in other mansions will not be in the main hall, but will go out to eat with the servants and maids.

The five-spice plate of five kinds of vegetables is placed in the middle, with duck sauce, drunk chicken, white-cut mutton, etc., and the plates are arranged very beautifully.

The maids poured the freshly burnt rice wine into the celadon wine cup.

Xining took a sip, warm and warm, and sweet.

General Zhao drank it but frowned: "This wine is a little sweeter, so it's better to go to Qin wine."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "I know that with the master's alcohol content, I will not get drunk even if I drink yellow wine until my stomach is bulging. When the family banquet is over, I will still have to watch the night, even if I leave it for a short drink tomorrow."

Thinking about it, General Zhao picked up the chopsticks and said, "It's time to eat more food."

During the banquet, they toasted each other. Xining picked up the cup and touched the matter gently. Like the master's brother, he would have to drink one cup after another. Soon he would get drunk.

Aunt Xu lowered her head and laughed without saying a word. Zhao Yingxue came over one by one, and even the prince's wife, He, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, which was to sell her face.

When I saw Zhao Yingxue toasting, I chose the right time point, not abruptly or unlucky. There are different things in the primary and secondary, so I would like to pay respects one by one. If it is placed in modern society, I am definitely a social public relations talent.

On the contrary, the body master is usually used to it, so how can he do these things?

Xining pinched the wine glass and turned to the prince's wife He: "Sister-in-law, I respect you, I respect you, I respect you for giving birth to a fat boy for my elder brother this year."

He smiled and picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The red candle next to him and the red lantern shone on his face, fluttering red: "Maybe he is a girl."

Xining smiled and said, "The imperial physicians sent from the palace are all said to be kids, and I believe it. When I grow up a little, I will let He Ming take it with me, and I will also make him feel like his master, and have a headache all day long."

Zhao Heming immediately whined: "Auntie, don't harm me. Why can I take care of the children? Or let Auntie San take care of me?"

Zhao Yingyue slapped her over and said, "Boy, say something! This man hasn't been married yet, so she just attacked my wife. Why don't you ask your wife to take care of her?"

Zhao Heming touched the back of the head that was beaten: "Beat again, be careful to beat me stupid. If you marry a stupid wife, you will have no way to take care of your cousin."

Every sentence made the whole house laugh.

He was so angry that he started laughing and almost covered his big belly: "Lirong is the smartest. To respect me, it means to respect two. You two should respect her quickly and let her teach your son more in the future."

The rice was ate hot and the hot vegetable soup started to serve. Plates of crab-stewed oranges were served.

It was cut into a lid with orange, and the orange meat was dug out and steamed with crab meat and crab paste. When eaten, the orange meat was sweet and the delicious sweetness of crab meat were mixed together, and the aftertaste was endless.

Before he could eat it, Mrs. Zhao told: "This dish is delicious, but the crab meat is cold, so don't eat too much."

Every year when I eat this dish, I eat one more and one more. If I don’t watch it, I will probably eat it all.

"Yeah~" Xining nodded, digging slowly with a spoon and savoring it carefully. After eating, the maid removed the empty orange shell in front of her.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao stretched her chopsticks to the mutton, she reminded: "Mom, the crabs are cold and the mutton is hot and should not be eaten together. Just taste the taste."

Mrs. Zhao turned the chopsticks that were originally facing the large piece of mutton, picked up some sporadic pieces of powder on the plate, and put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly. While eating, she smiled and looked at her little daughter, as if she could make her happy than eating.

There are also some wild game on the table, birds, deer, and peacocks. The best one is naturally bison meat. This dynasty cannot be eaten, and the ox must die of old age. The meat can be bought and sold through the approval of the government. But the beef that is too old to chew, so what delicious food can be eaten there.

But the bison meat is not within the scope of plowing oxen, and you can eat it casually, but catching a bison is not easy.

Mrs. Zhao didn't care whether everyone was watching or not. After the meat came up, she just flipped through a few pieces in the basin and found the best piece and put it in Xining's bowl: "Lier, eat this piece, this piece is good."

Xining picked up the beef and put it in He's bowl, making fun of it: "Sister-in-law, you are a two-body person now. The wine you toast with just one person just now is equivalent to toasting two. Now you eat it alone and make up for it for two people, and this piece should be given to you!"

He smiled and said, "When you say that, I'm as sweet as 17 or 18 pieces of meat. You should eat this piece of meat. Otherwise, if you say it, before the belly comes out, you will follow your aunt to grab the meat to eat."

There was laughter again, and Zhao Heming sat opposite him but looked at him with a hurried look: "Mom, please let me go and let me eat."

He glanced at me, angry and funny: "You are such a boring one."

"Yes, it's a waste of time! I'll fight for meat with my unborn brother." Xining spat lightly: "Bah~"

The laughter was connected again.

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Zhao stood up and also put a piece in Zhao Heming's bowl: "I'll give you one too, not biased."

Zhao Heming was happy: "Thank you grandma." He picked up the chopsticks and ate. This kid, eating is the most important thing.

Seeing General Zhao laughing loudly, Mrs. Zhao deliberately asked: "Master, do you want to pick up a piece for you?"

Seeing General Zhao was stunned, the people around him laughed constantly.

After dinner, I will watch the drama. In this era, opera is in its infancy. Officials still focus on singing and dancing, and zaju is generally not a place of elegance.

But the General's Mansion is not focused on the details. He originally fought and killed, and did not think about developing an elegant route. Every year, he invites a opera troupe to act in the mansion.

During the zaju, there were singing and dancing, funny, and even juggling, which were colorful and lively.

After reading it, they started to have some fun, chat and play Leaf cards, guess riddles, and drink wine. Xining and Zhao Yingyue both held a book and leaned against the side to read the book. When the mouth was slim, they drank some water and ate a candied fruit.

After midnight, I went to the yard to worship the gods of heaven and earth, praying for the safety of the whole family and the success of the family business in the new year. The elders sent red envelopes to the younger generation, and then the year was over and I went back to the yard to fall asleep.
