After the New Year's Eve dinner, the next step is an important program that every household has - staying up late on New Year's Eve.
Every household either lit candles or burned red fires, and everyone stayed up until midnight. The whole family, young and old, gathered together to watch the New Year, taste cakes, drink wine, laugh and sing.
Tantai Mansion is no exception, and the New Year's Eve vigil in Tantai Mansion is kept by the master and his servants together. On this night, everyone is a family, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.
This is all because when Tantai Heqing first took charge of Tantai Mansion, the population was depressed and it was also very difficult at that time.
In order to build unity, Tantai Heqing brings everyone together to pray for a bright future for Tantai Mansion on a night when firewood is scarce.
She lived up to expectations and achieved prosperity today.
This habit of keeping the family together on New Year's Eve has continued to this day.
Everyone moved to another courtyard. Except for the north courtyard gate, the corridors on three sides of the courtyard had already been set up with wooden kang pavilions, surrounded by a circle, and the kang was covered with a layer of mats and cushions.
Although they say they watch the New Year's Eve together, it's not like the master and the servants sit together, and the male servants and the maids sit together. Wouldn't it be chaotic?
According to the old rules, the maid who is closer to Tantai Heqing and the inner chamber sits in the corridor in front of the west chamber, the other maids sit in the south, and the men sit in the east.
Everyone got used to it and consciously sat down in an orderly manner, and soon everyone was sitting around for a week, like watching a play.
A sandalwood bonfire was burning in the middle of the yard. The flames were blazing and the aroma was wafting. Even though they were outside the house, they did not feel cold at all. People who were closer to the bonfire even blushed and sweated.
Fu Xie is the male host, so naturally he cannot be simply classified as a man. Tantai Heqing and Gu Xianting sit next to each other, Xie Guangde sits next to Gu Xianting, and Tantai Heqing sits next to Mrs. Wang. In order to take care of Mrs. Wang conveniently, Tantai
He Qing specially arranged Xia'er to be with Mrs. Wang.
Xiaoqiu came to Xie Fu excitedly: "Sir, can you order it?"
Xie Fun said: "Xiaoqiu, be careful."
Gu Xianting asked curiously: "What should you order?"
Tantai Heqing smiled and said: "My husband also prepared fireworks."
Not long after, I heard a bang and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky, instantly lighting up the snowy night.
Xie Fu turned his head and looked gently at Sima Yuntai, who was across Tantai Heqing. He really hoped that Sima Yuntai could be a part of this family, at least tonight.
With a tacit understanding, Sima Yuntai also looked at Xie Fu. Under the red light, Sima Yuntai's shining eyes collided with Xie Fu's gentle eyes.
Thumping, dazzling sparks also lit up in the sky, making Sima Yuntai's face even redder, and his pupils also shimmered with light.
Xie Fu was moved, but Sima Yuntai raised his head slightly and looked at the night sky, smiling but quiet...
Everyone ate Jiaoya soup, five-spice plate, pastry plate, drank Tu Su Sui wine, and enjoyed the fireworks while talking and laughing.
In Xie Fu's world, there is only Sima Yuntai who sits and smiles. She is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fireworks in the sky. She is the most beautiful fireworks in the world. Xie Fu is really moved...
Xie Guangde smiled cheerfully, but it had been a long time since he had experienced the excitement of the New Year. Especially in the years when Xie Fu left home, he seemed particularly cold. One year, Xie Li was not at home, and it was only him and the housekeeper Quan.
Gu Xianting has been talking to Xie Guangde.
Tantai Heqing personally brought a cup of Tu Su Sui wine to Fu Xie's mouth. This was not an oath of status, but a reminder to Fu Xie to accept it as soon as he saw it.
He whispered: "Look at it!" Xie Fu may not be a lecherous person, but Mrs. Wang is so beautiful that it makes people tremble with fear.
His peeping was discovered by Tantai Heqing, and Xie Fu suddenly had the urge to break through the moral constraints and whispered: "The love for beauty comes from the heart. She is really beautiful, isn't she?"
He really wanted to know how Tantai Heqing would react if he exposed his evil intentions.
Tantai Heqing said casually: "Then you take her."
Xie Fu's heart was pounding violently. He didn't expect Tantai Heqing to say such a thing. Soon the pain in his thigh brought Xie Fu back to reality. However, Tantai Heqing pinched him hard, with such force that he seemed to want to pinch out a piece.
Here comes the meat.
"Go, hug her now in front of others, train her to be your little lover, and then drag her into your harem."
Tantai Heqing's tone was sarcastic and teasing, but his eyes were warning and stern.
The voice fell on Xie Fu's ears like an instigation soaked with poison. He had affection and love for Sima Yuntai, and it was also full of desire. He had long wanted to tear off this layer of moral and ethical shackles in front of others, and let Sima Yuntai be Xie openly and openly.
lady.
Earlier when he was in the lobby, there was a moment when he really wanted to speak, if Sima Yuntai hadn't stopped him in time.
Love sometimes makes people really crazy and desperate. If you can stay awake and sane all the time, it really doesn't count as love.
"If you are not angry, I will go hook up with her now."
Xie Fu used a teasing tone. Although he was bold and ready to act, he still tried cautiously.
Tantai Heqing's expression showed a carefree and playful expression, and he said uninhibitedly: "Go, you don't need me to teach you. The teacher has cooked the rice, and it will be irreversible by then, even if she doesn't want to.
"
Tantai Heqing's ambiguous attitude made Xie Fu's heart beat fast. Could it be that Heqing was really so good to him?
Tantai He floated over quietly: "I want everyone to see how shameless, despicable, disgusting, and despicable you are!" When he mentioned the word "death", his tone rose several times.
Is it important to be shameless, despicable, and unsightly?
This is just a kind of self-protection to cherish your reputation. If you want to love her, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it may even cost you your life.
Tantai Heqing's words of warning not only failed to repel Xie Fu, but instead made him feel passionate. Jing picked up the half-drunk Tusu Sui wine and walked to Sima Yuntai under Tantai Heqing's gaze.
.
Seeing Fu Xie bringing wine to her, Sima Yuntai was stunned for a moment, then scanned the cheerful and lively courtyard, and at the same time noticed Tantai Heqing looking sideways.
The two women looked at each other, and Tantai Heqing showed a peaceful smile, but he was panicking in his heart. He only hoped that Xie Fu was just having fun and was not serious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all... After all, New Year's Eve is just a night of joy and joy, and nothing is scrupulous. Even if you tease the mother-in-law,...
Tantai Heqing really can't make up a reason, and it won't work at any time. Everyone is from a scholarly family, and they are not as bad as those in the market.
Suddenly but with a wry smile, this powerful family did not know how many times more dirty and dirty than the bad habits of the market. Take the founding emperor of Daguan Kingdom as an example. Although he was called a wise king, he did not commit the scandal of killing his brother and marrying his sister-in-law...
…
Xie Fu held the wine in both hands and handed it to him in a respectful manner: "Madam, I see that you are so reserved. Let's relax and warm up with a glass of old wine."
Sima Yuntai was not reserved, but dignified and calm. In fact, she enjoyed the night very much. Seeing Tantai Heqing watching from the side, she smiled and reached out to take it.
The moment after receiving it, Xie Fu took the opportunity to touch her little hand. Sima Yuntai's beautiful eyes widened suddenly. Her whole arm, which was caught by Xie Fu, was numb and sore. Her heart was also beating fast and crisp.
Crisp and restless.
It was not that she had not been touched by Xie Fu, but at this moment, in a public place, and under the loving gaze of Tantai He, she felt a hundred times more excited than usual.
He gave Xie Fu a hard look, are you crazy? Your wife is still watching.
For Xie Fu, this strange feeling was also new and special, just like holding the young lady's hand for the first time, which made people very excited, but facing Sima Yuntai's glare, he grabbed it again.
Sima Yuntai's hand trembled, and he almost slapped him across the face. He slapped Fu Xie awake on the spot. After all, he didn't want to mess up the situation, so he took his hand back and drank it as if nothing had happened.
"Ma'am, can you warm me up a bit?"
Sima Yuntai's face showed displeasure, and he looked at Xie Fu with a strange look. His lips moved, but he stopped talking.
It expresses a kind of anger that is difficult to express, but it is specially made for Tantai Heqing to see.
"Madam, what did you say? It was so noisy that I didn't hear it clearly."
Xie Fu pretended to be talking and leaned forward to listen.
Seeing his ear right in front of her eyes, Sima Yuntai really wanted to rip the whole ear off. She lowered her voice and said coldly: "Get out of here!"
Xie Fu lowered his voice and said frivolously: "I want to kiss you."
Sima Yuntai's heart immediately shook, and his face started to heat up. He was afraid that Xie Fu would go further and cause a big fuss, so he said to Xia'er who was watching the exorcism program at his side: "Xia'er, your hand touched something dirty.
Come on, take me to clean my hands."
This sentence was also specially said to Tantai Heqing, regardless of whether Tantai Heqing saw it when Xie Fu touched her hand just now.
"Yes, Mrs. Wang."
The implicit meaning of washing one's hands is also to go for convenience. Xia'er took Mrs. Wang to the clean and incense-burning dressing room.
Tantai Heqing believed that Mrs. Wang's move was to avoid Xie Fu's harassment. She only felt that Xie Fu's behavior made even her wife feel embarrassed.
You might say that he is an unruly person who does all sorts of things, but he is not, so how could he do such a thing?
As soon as Xie Fu returned to his seat, he heard Tantai He say quietly: "Why don't you follow her? This is a good opportunity for two people to be alone. When the time comes, there will be another overlord who takes the bow, and she will be yours."
Tantai Heqing had no idea what Xie Fu was thinking. He was not trying to seduce Sima Yuntai, nor was he looking for an opportunity to have an affair with Sima Yuntai.
He glanced at Tantai Heqing lightly, and then looked at Sima Yuntai's walking back. He gave everything he could to Tantai Heqing.
As for Sima Yuntai, she also loved herself deeply, and she also sacrificed a lot, thanking her so much that she lost count.
But she could only be a black market lady. Xie Fu wanted to give it to her, but he couldn't.
Tonight, he just wanted to hold Sima Yuntai up high in front of others. He just wanted her to be upright and dignified. He just wanted to hope that she was not a black market lady and didn't have to be secretive.
I just hope that Sima Yuntai can feel happy from the bottom of her heart...
Xie Fu kept looking until Sima Yuntai's back disappeared from his sight, then murmured: "That's not what I want."
Tantai Heqing changed the topic and sneered in a low voice: "Aren't you fascinated by her?"
Xie Fu thought of those days at Liyu Tingyu Hall and said with a smile: "Maybe."
Tantai Heqing leaned close to Xie Fu's ear and said through gritted teeth: "Have you forgotten who she is? She is your mother-in-law, you piece of shit!"
In order to deepen the weight of this sentence, Tantai Heqing even omitted the word "future" and simply added this inviolable identity directly.
However, these words stimulated Xie Fu, making him feel a sharp pain in his heart, like a gun piercing through his heart. He suddenly lost control and became furious: "The big deal, if I don't marry Wang Wanzhi, then..."
