It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. There was no one in the other courtyard, but Forsythia still had people hang up red lanterns. Everything inside and outside looked festive as the new year was approaching.
When Chengchun got up, festive Spring Festival couplets had been posted at the door of the courtyard: "Why should they be posted in the courtyard too?"
"Forsythia said it looks like the New Year!" Hongdou said and walked over quickly, "Why did you get up so early, why don't you want to sleep for a while?"
"Today is New Year's Eve, I have to get up early and wait for the New Year!" Cheng Chun looked at the couplet in front of him and said with a smile, "This couplet is so well written!"
Hongdou smiled: "It was written by the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince came here early and was pulled by Sister Forsythia to write a lot of couplets, one for each courtyard!"
Cheng Chun raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised: "Oh? Why is the Crown Prince here today? She is not staying at the Marquis Mansion on New Year's Eve, so what is she doing here?"
"The prince came here early in the morning carrying roasted goose and suckling pig. He said he was here to give out red envelopes to the people in the other courtyard!" Hongdou said with a smile, "The prince is such a good person, and he still remembers to give out red envelopes to the people in the other courtyard!
"
Chengchun chuckled softly: "Then let's go and have a look, maybe we can get a red envelope!"
Hongdou smiled and supported Chengchun: "Then go and have a look!"
Meng Shaoqing was sitting in the main courtyard, and now the people had dispersed. He was holding a bowl of tea soup and drinking it. Forsythia beside him couldn't help but mutter: "I just want you to write a few couplets."
, the one who complains so much is because he thinks your handwriting is beautiful, otherwise who would care about you!"
"Do you know how cold it is to write on such a cold day?" Meng Shaoqing looked dissatisfied, "It's enough to just write about things in the yard. You also have to ask me to write about things in other people's homes. Your writing is not bad either.
You can’t write it yourself!”
Forsythia raised her eyes and looked at Meng Shaoqing: "Your Majesty, are you talking nonsense? You are the Crown Prince, your word is so valuable, how much is my word "maidservant" worth!"
Meng Shaoqing drank tea gloomily: "I shouldn't have come here!"
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted. I still remember that people from other courtyards came all the way to give red envelopes!" Cheng Chun walked out with a smile.
Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun, and then laughed: "Why, do you know that I am giving out red envelopes here, and you came here specifically to ask for them?"
"Yeah, I'm such a greedy person, how could I not come and ask for a red envelope!" Chengchun walked to Meng Shaoqing and stretched out his hand, "There are red envelopes for me and Hongdou!"
Meng Shaoqing smiled helplessly, and then took out two red envelopes from his arms. He handed one of them to Hongdou: "Hey, it's yours!"
Hongdou happily accepted it and said a bunch of auspicious words.
Meng Shaoqing laughed: "Okay, okay, stop talking, go and make me a bowl of tea soup!"
Hongdou smiled and left.
Chengchun watched Hongdou leave and was a little dissatisfied: "Where's mine? Why don't you give it to me!"
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Cheng Chun and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chengchun was a little unhappy, but still said: "It's almost good, I have to thank you for saving my life!"
Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly: "You still know that I have saved your life, so you still ask me for a red envelope. You don't think you are ashamed!"
"Don't mind it, I'm young, you should give me a red envelope!" Cheng Chun looked at Meng Shaoqing in front of him, "Even at home, I still have lucky money every year!"
Meng Shaoqing was amused by her confident look, and he gently tapped Cheng Chun's head with the red envelope in his hand rather fondly: "I can't see that you are such a messy guy!"
When Meng Shaoqing saw this, not only Chengchun, but also Forsythia beside her was a little stunned. She quickly stepped forward, took the red envelope from Meng Shaoqing's hand and put it into Chengchun's hand: "Your Majesty, it's always like this.
It's obviously been prepared a long time ago, but you have to say such nonsense, and you have to say it to make the lady blush, so you are happy!"
Chengchun was also a little at a loss, so he took the red envelope and ran away.
Waiting until Chengchun had gone far, Forsythia looked at Meng Shaoqing with a look of disbelief on her face: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Are you carried away by my wife's beauty?"
Meng Shaoqing casually picked up the plum blossoms in the vase and knocked Forsythia on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who is blind to sex?"
Forsythia looked at Meng Shaoqing with an expression of "Don't you?"
Meng Shaoqing angrily hit Forsythia several times with plum blossoms: "What are you thinking about, what are you thinking about, what are you thinking about!"
Forsythia was beaten unjustly: "Did I say something wrong? If you weren't interested in sex, why would you touch someone's head?"
Meng Shaoqing fell silent, and then said after a long time: "The way she looked just now was very similar to Wan Wan. She didn't react for a moment and just started to attack... If Wan Wan was still here, she should be about the same age as her, maybe older than her.
She's even prettier when she was born."
Forsythia didn't speak, just clenched her hands tightly.
After a long time, Meng Shaoqing let out a long sigh: "Did Su Xubai come to other courtyards during the recent period?"
"I haven't come here again, maybe because I know that we don't welcome him! After all, I didn't give him a good look when he came last time!" Forsythia said helplessly.
Meng Shaoqing smiled: "There is no need to show him any favors. That boy is now working hard in the court, busy in Dali Temple every day, and risking his life in court affairs!
"
Forsythia didn't say anything more: "It's getting late, and the Marquis is not at home either. I think the prince will have to go to the palace with the old Marquis and others to watch the New Year, so go back early!"
"Isn't it like this every year?" Meng Shaoqing rubbed his forehead, "I am also afraid of the emperor now. When I get older, I always grant marriages to people, and I have to tell people about it with my seven aunts and eight aunts.
What’s different about the kiss?”
"His Majesty also knows the rules of the Marquis Mansion, and I don't think he will give you a marriage randomly, so there is no need to worry too much." Forsythia said with a smile.
Meng Shaoqing naturally knows that, but His Majesty likes to mess with things like mandarin ducks now. He feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. Because of this matter, he usually goes to the palace every month to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
Meng Shaoqing, I have gone a lot less these days.
No matter how reluctant he was, he still had to attend the palace banquet, so he left early. Just when Meng Shaoqing was about to go out, Cheng Chun trotted over: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
When Meng Shaoqing saw Cheng Chun, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "I just regarded you as my sister for a moment, don't worry..."
