At night, in Ning Guogong Mansion, Tianxiang Tower.

Jia Yun was lying on the rocking chair bored in every possible way, dozing off with his eyes closed, listening to the babbling drama on the stage, which was quite comfortable.

Today is New Year's Eve, there is a lot of excitement outside, and Dongfu cannot be deserted, so Jia Yun went to Tianxiang Garden to listen to the opera and eat wine.

After all, the Jia Mansion and the East Mansion were divided into two separate houses, and they each celebrated New Year's Eve in their own way, so Jia Yun spent New Year's Eve in the East Mansion.

Calculating carefully, from the time Jia Yun traveled to the present day, he spent the New Year's Eve in silence when the whole family was supposed to be happy.

When he was young, Jia Yun was not liked by Jia Zhen, so he always lived alone. Even on New Year's Eve, Jia Zhen never called Jia Yun his son.

Three years at the border made Jia Yun's New Year's Eve a bit more lively. After all, no one could go home in the military camp. A group of old men were drinking and having fun, which didn't seem so deserted, but in the end there was no sense of peace of mind.

After returning to Beijing, things got a little better. Last year, Jia Yun was accompanied by two little girls, Xiang Ling and Qing Wen, which made Jia Yun feel more at ease.

Now that my life is getting better and better, when Baochai and Daiyu enter the house in the future, the house will be more lively and not so deserted.

Looking at Qingwen, Xiangling and others who were sitting around the table touching Tianjiu, Jia Yun said, "Yuanyang, I don't need to wait here. It's New Year's Eve and you can go to Qingwen's place to hang out. It won't be boring."

Yuanyang, who was rubbing Jia Yun's legs, was startled when he heard this, and said seriously: "How can I have no one to serve me? I dote on my slaves, so of course they can't be frivolous."

Jia Yun didn't say anything when he heard this. Since Yuanyang insisted, he had nothing to say.

At this time, Qingwen turned her head and shouted to Jia Yun: "Sir, don't you come over for a hangout?"

Listening to Qingwen's shouts, Jia Yun replied angrily: "You can go on your own, I won't participate."

Qingwen curled her lips and turned around and ignored Jia Yun. This girl was too stubborn. Jia Yun reminded her: "Qingwen, please be patient. Don't lose all your monthly income."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingwen felt annoyed. Look at this, Qingwen's luck is not good again. Speaking of which, this girl also loses nine out of ten bets, but she always enjoys it. However, there are no entertainment projects in this era, and these maids are just

They were just hanging out together to pass the time. The bet wasn't big, so I let them go. What's more, it was the Chinese New Year, so there was no need to restrain them.

Jia Yun shook his head and ignored it. He closed his eyes and listened to the opera on the stage.

Seeing that Jia Yun was not interested, Yuanyang took the initiative to chat: "This girl Qingwen is really getting more and more unruly."

Hearing this, Jia Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "This girl still understands the big principles. Let her go as far as making small troubles. If you think she doesn't know the rules, just teach her a lesson."

Hearing this, Yuanyang said angrily: "I dote on her, how can I dare to teach her a lesson? I can't please her for no reason."

Jia Yun opened his eyes and looked at the mandarin duck, stretched out his legs and rubbed his plump part, and joked: "Are you tired of eating? I love you so much!!!"

What Jia Yun said is right. The recognized big housekeeper in Ning Mansion is Yuanyang. With such treatment, how can we say that Jia Yun doesn't pamper her?

Yuanyang's cheeks were slightly red, he put Jia Yun's legs straight, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not serious again."

Looking at Yuanyang with a pretty face like Xia, this girl should have a bulge, a curvy back, an oval face, black hair, a high nose, and a few slight scars on both cheeks, although she is not as good as

Qingwen Xiangling is as gorgeous as her daughter, but she is also a good-looking daughter. She is a good-looking girl, and the more she looks at her, the more interesting she becomes. The most rare thing is her character, and her ability to do things, so Jia Yun attaches great importance to Yuanyang.

After groaning, Jia Yun ordered: "Since you don't have fun with Qingwen and the others, how about you serve me tonight?"

Jia Yun's service must not be a simple change of clothes, but an informal one. If not, he would not ask about it and just give the order directly.

Yuanyang's eyes moved, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I am the master, and serving you is what a slave should do."

Hearing Yuanyang's answer, Jia Yun felt more and more proud. Yuanyang was willing to do so. This was a good thing. For Jia Yun, what kind of daughter he wanted was not a matter of words. As long as Jia Yun spoke, the maids around him would do whatever they wanted.

Begging, not only for the maid, but also for the side-by-side lotus in the west yard, is also a matter of one sentence. The key is that Jia Yun not only wants to get the mandarin duck, but also wants to get the mandarin duck's heart...

Thinking of this, Jia Yun closed his eyes again. He would take a rest now, and then he would be more motivated later. Yuanyang must kneel down and beg for mercy. Yuanyang is a mature woman, so Jia Yun naturally cannot eat him like Xiangling and Qingwen.

vegetarian...........

Just as Jia Yun was daydreaming and thinking about how to "take care of" the mandarin ducks, a maid walked in outside the house and greeted: "Master, some girls from the West Mansion are here."

Jia Yun frowned when he heard this. The people called girls must be Baochai and Daiyu.

Earlier, Daiyu and others went to Xifu to celebrate New Year's Eve. This was because Daiyu and Baochai had not yet visited each other, so naturally they could not have any "New Year's Eve dinner" in Dongfu, so they all went to Xifu.

Before Jia Yun could say anything, Daiyu, Baochai and others came in directly. Seeing the opera being arranged on the stage, Xiangyun joked: "I thought it was deserted here, but I didn't want Brother Yun to enjoy it by himself."

stand up."

Xiangyun was from the Shi's family and was supposed to celebrate the New Year at the Shi's house. However, Jia's mother knew that it would be boring to stay at the Shi's house during the Chinese New Year, so she made the decision early and took him to Xifu to celebrate the New Year.

Thinking about it carefully, the number of times Xiangyun was picked up by Jia Mu became more and more frequent, and the days he stayed there became longer and longer. Could it be that Jia Mu had something in mind?

Jia Yun didn't take Xiang Yun's joke seriously and said: "It's so lively and lively when singing and opera, it's not just about enjoying it, but why do these aunts have time to come to my nephew's place?"

Xiangyun said: "We are here to wish you happy new year."

Hearing this, Daiyu laughed and scolded: "What a stupid girl. Today I'm keeping up the New Year's greetings, but tomorrow I'm going to pay New Year's greetings."

Listening to Daiyu and others' talk, Jia Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, stood up and greeted: "A few aunts have come to my place, it's really brilliant! Please sit down quickly."

As early as when Baochai and Daiyu entered the house, Qingwen and the other maids were no longer having fun. After hearing Jia Yun's greetings, they hurriedly went to bring tea and water and put out the fruit plate.

Xiangyun looked at the luxurious decorations in the house, curled his lips and said, "Brother Yun, if this is a shabby house, then our house will be even more inaccessible to people."

Jia Yun's Tianxiang Building is the most luxurious place in the Ning Mansion. It has a large rosewood marble case, celebrity copybooks, and antique furniture. The most noteworthy thing is the large stage in the center, which is a place dedicated to singing and drinking.

Faced with Xiangyun's joke, Jia Yun didn't say anything. He asked, "Aren't the aunts having fun in Xifu? Why are you here?"

Daiyu glanced at Xiangyun and said narrowly: "Girl Yun said she would be more relaxed here, so she wanted to use your place to have some fun."

When Jia Yun heard this, he understood clearly that Daiyu's words were half true and half false. The truth was that there were many rules in the West Mansion, which really made them a little constrained. The lie was that they borrowed his place. After all, Jia Yun remembered that they all had yards in the East Mansion.

Yes, why do you have to lend him this land?

I guess he knew that Jia Yun's place was deserted, so he came here looking for an excuse.

After hearing this, Jia Yun first spoke: "Now that we are here, the aunties will order a few plays to listen to."

Xiangyun didn't take it seriously and complained: "We are here to see you as aunts, and you just use this to send us away. It's so perfunctory."

Hearing this, Baochai laughed and scolded: "Young girl Yun, I can't stop you even after listening to the show. You are really getting more and more cunning."

Jia Yun didn't take it seriously and asked, "What does Aunt Shi want?"

Xiangyun groaned and suggested: "While the Lingguan and the others are here, let them play the drums, and let's spread the plum blossoms and make a wish for spring joy. How about it?"

After hearing Xiangyun's suggestion, Yingchun agreed: "This is a good idea, right for the time and the right situation."

Seeing that no one refuted, Xiangyun greeted unceremoniously: "Come on, come on, everyone, sit together and let's beat the drums and spread the plum blossoms."

No one said anything about Xiangyun's prestige. After all, they knew that Jia Yun wouldn't care about it. Then, a group of people gathered around a long table. A maid had already broken a plum blossom, which happened to be in season.

It's rare that everyone is in high spirits, and Jia Yun doesn't refuse. Playing flowers and passing drums naturally requires a large number of people, so Qingwen, Xiangling, Zijuan and other respectable maids also sat together.

Xiangyun held the plum blossoms in his hands and said, "Let's agree in advance that whoever stops the drum sound will have a drink and still need to give orders."

After hearing the order, Daiyu became energetic and suggested: "Hey... let's shoot him down!"

Qingwen was confused when she heard this: "We are not so elegant and stubborn, let's just guess the game!"

Xiangling retorted: "That's too vulgar. I think it's better to draw flower name tags."

When Daiyu heard this, she felt it made sense and said, "Whether it's vulgar or elegant, in my opinion, write down all the drinking orders and draw them into lots. Whichever one we catch will be the winner."

A few people heard the truth and agreed, "That's fine."

Xiangyun saw that Jia Yun had a headache and hurriedly joked: "Why, brother Yun is going to lose his temper."

Everyone looked over, and Jia Yun said helplessly: "Aunts, are you here to have fun with me?"

It's just that Jia Yun said that these aunts were looking for his entertainment, because they drank in all kinds of ways.

Drinking orders can be roughly divided into Yaling and Tongling. Literally speaking, Yaling is naturally an elegant drinking order and is mostly popular among literati.

There are many forms and patterns of Ya Ling, but they are all inseparable from the word "Ya". Any idioms, allusions, poems and songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, five elements and eight trigrams, Ya riddles, antiques, flowers, birds, fish and insects can be included in the order, and scriptures are often cited.

, conceiving ideas at the table and responding impromptu, which requires the drinker to have both literary talent and talent, as well as agility and wit.

Tong Ling is different. Literally speaking, it is naturally a universal drinking order, so it is mostly popular among common people because it is convenient to execute orders. Sometimes it is also carried out among literati, usually by rolling dice, drawing lots, punching, guessing numbers, etc.

Flower passing and other methods generally do not require much literary talent, just impromptu reactions, or relying entirely on luck.

But these aunts had a lot of fun. They got the Yaling Order together, and it all depended on their own luck. If it was the General Order, it didn't matter, but if it was the Yaling Order, it would be a bit difficult.

Although Jia Yun studied at a young age, he has forgotten about it...

Everyone knew that Jia Yun was not good at literature, so they were well aware of Jia Yun's headache.

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, just have an extra glass of wine and I'll tell you for you."

When Jia Yun heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he responded: "In that case, let's have a good time today..."
