Chapter 521 New Year's Eve, the lively Chu Mansion
"Everyone is free of charge. Today is a family dinner, so there is no need to be restrained."
As soon as Jun Lingyun said this, everyone suddenly became less cautious.
Xiaolian, who was behind Chu Yunxi, immediately spotted Wen Yang among the students and quietly waved to him.
The student next to him saw it and bumped Wen Yang's arm. Wen Yang smiled and nodded at Xiaolian.
Xiaolian was secretly happy when she received the response. When she came to her senses, she found that Si Qi and Can'er were both smiling and looking at her, feeling a little guilty for a moment.
"I just wanted to say hello."
After her explanation, Si Qi and Can'er nodded tacitly.
It was indeed a greeting, but among so many people, Wen Yang was alone in saying hello.
Mrs. Chu looked at the children wearing festive new clothes and felt happy. The atmosphere in their general's mansion this year was more satisfying than any other year.
At this time, the wet nurse came out to meet everyone with Xiao Wenyin in her arms.
Chu Yunxi hadn't seen her sister for a long time, so she put a finger into her soft and tender hands.
Xiao Wenyin held on and didn't let go, looking at Chu Yunxi with her big eyes and babbling.
"Queen, can we also see the baby?"
A child couldn't help but ask, and Chu Yunxi smiled and nodded.
"Of course."
She took a few steps back, and Xiao Wenyin was surrounded by curious heads.
Xiao Wenyin was already pretty, but now she is wearing a red brocade cotton-padded jacket, a tiger-head hat, and tiger-head shoes. She looks really cute and adorable.
"My little sister is so beautiful."
one child blurted out.
"Shh, this is the Queen's sister, we can't scream randomly."
The older children quickly stopped.
"Oh, then I'll call her baby."
Chu Yunxi listened to their whispers and laughed. Children's talk is the most interesting.
Seeing that the nanny was surrounded, Mrs. Chu couldn't help but said with a smile:
"Come here, take the children to throw pot."
"Yes, ma'am."
Games such as pot throwing are all these half-year-old children will like. When they heard that there was still something to play, the children became happy.
"Let's all go and have fun. Don't be restrained. The Chinese New Year is all about being happy."
"Thank you, Mrs. Chu!"
Seeing that Mrs. Chu was very easy-going, the children thanked her happily and followed the servants to play in the courtyard.
Wen Yang glanced at Xiaolian again before going to the courtyard.
When Chu Yunxi saw that Brother Xilingyu was not there, he couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaoyu, Xiaodie, why don't you go?"
Xilingyu was stunned. He had never played with so many people before, and he was a little unable to react for a while.
"If you don't go, Chuge won't be able to go. Do you have the heart to hold her captive? Let's all go. Make more friends. You can move around more in the future, and you won't be lonely anymore."
Many of those children are about the same size as the Xilingyu brothers. If they can become good friends, the Xilingyu brothers will have a smoother road ahead.
Xilingyu looked at Chuge and saw that she was looking forward to it. He stood up and bowed to Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi.
"Then let's go play for a while."
Chu Yunxi waved his hand, and Xilingdie and Chuge followed Xilingyu out of the house.
"It's good to be young and energetic!"
General Chu sighed loudly, and Mrs. Chu covered her lips and smiled.
They are all half-grown children and have not yet grown up, so the word young is used everywhere.
Chu Yunxi looked at Xiaolian, whose heart was in Cao Ying but in Han Dynasty, and said with a smile:
"I don't need you to wait here anymore. Let's go and have fun."
Xiaolian was overjoyed and pulled Si Qi and Can'er out of the house. The Queen was in her own house, so there would be no inconvenience.
The General's Mansion was also the place where Xiao Lian had lived since she was a child. She was very familiar with it. She didn't see anything strange anywhere, and soon she led Si Qi and Can'er into the crowd.
Jun Lingyun winked at Bai Xiao and An San, and they also retreated.
Mu Qier has been quietly following Bai Xiao since she got off the carriage. Naturally, wherever Bai Xiao goes, she will go.
When Bai Xiao saw An San, he would glance at Princess Shengya from time to time and pat An San.
"What are you looking at?"
An San was sneaky by nature and had a guilty conscience, so he was frightened by Bai Xiao's slap.
"Ah? Didn't you see anything? I just looked at Princess Shengya's twin maids, they were a little strange."
Bai Xiao looked at Xiling Yu and Xiling Butterfly who were throwing pots. That pair was not strange, but the one next to Princess Shengya was strange?
He shook his head, no longer bothered with the dark three, and took Mu Qier to watch the children throw pots.
In the house, Chu Yunxi had already pulled Song Zijin and whispered to her:
"Master Wife, is there any movement?"
Song Zijin looked at the others, pulled Chu Yunxi aside, covered his mouth and whispered:
"My period this month has not come, and it has been delayed for more than half a month."
Chu Yunxi is now a veteran, so she naturally knows what the lack of menstruation means.
The two looked at each other with brilliance in their eyes. Chu Yunxi asked in a low voice:
"Have you seen the doctor before, Master?"
Song Zijin shook his head shyly.
"Wait a little longer until I'm more confident. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake."
Chu Yunxi nodded. It was good that she was pregnant for two months and the doctor couldn't tell. The mistress's consideration was also right.
"In a month or two, the master's wife will come to the palace to find me, and I will ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you."
Song Zijin accepted her sentiments and nodded gratefully.
The maids have already brought tea and snacks to give their masters teeth.
Mrs. Chu greeted the female relatives in the room.
"The new camellias and daffodils that came to the house are in full bloom. Why don't we go and enjoy the flowers?"
"Yes, mother."
Princess Shengya took Chu Yunxi's arm to protect her from accidentally slipping on the snow.
Zhou Ruoxuan went to help Princess Guo. The two sisters-in-law talked and laughed.
Jun Lingyun, the Chu family men, and Sikong Yu were left in the front hall, and naturally they had to briefly discuss political affairs again.
The Chu family was lively and lively, with laughter and laughter, and the officials who passed by General Chu's mansion and entered the palace couldn't help but look sideways. They really wanted to go to the Chu family to celebrate the New Year.
But after thinking about it, they still had to go to the palace and pretend to accept Long's grace.
When it was time to hold the lanterns, the three brothers Chu Wenzhong lit the firecrackers with their own hands, and the female relatives covered their ears to watch the excitement.
Chu Wenzhong looked at the boys who were eager to try, and ordered to the boys beside him:
"Go and take out all the fireworks in the mansion!"
"Yes, eldest son."
Chu Wenzhong gave Wen Yang the burning incense in his hand.
"Prepare some incense for all the young gentlemen."
"Thank you, Brother Chu!"
The children happily took the incense and watched as the boys came with various fireworks. Everyone received one and held it in their arms. There were also some that could be played with just holding them in their hands, and they were given to the girls.
"Why don't you put the fireworks outside the house so that the people can see them."
Chu Yunxi suggested, and General Chu spoke:
"Listen to Xi'er."
The children were even more happy, and they all went out holding fireworks, having fun alone rather than having fun together.
