Chapter 38: Worshiping Ancestors in the New Year

Capital City·Jin Mansion·Ancestral Hall.

Time flies like an arrow, and unknowingly it has been more than half a year since Jin Yanxi came to this world. On the New Year's Eve, everyone except Jin Fengju, who was far away in Fusang, rested at home, and under the leadership of Jin Quan, they went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

"Bang!"

Jin Hesun sounded the gong, and Jin Quan took the lead to stand in the front. Behind him, Jin Hesun, Jin Pengzhen, and Jin Yanxi stood in place. The daughter, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and servants followed and stood in line, arranged by seniority and age, including the youngest.

Liu Tiantian also stood beside his mother Jin Daozhi.

(Jin Yanxi: Jin Yanxi, Jin Yanxi, remember you are Jin Yanxi, stay away from dangerous things in the future, be careful to return to the evil future.)

Jin Quan led everyone to kneel down and kowtow three times to worship their ancestors. After offering incense, he ordered everyone to stand up.

Jin Quan announced: "It's Chinese New Year."

As everyone cheered, the servants started to set off fireworks, and the banquet was placed in the restaurant, and then everyone moved to the restaurant to sit down.

Jin Yanxi beckoned: "Come and sit."

Bai Xiuzhu pointed to her nose and stood up suspiciously.

Bai Xiuzhu asked doubtfully: "You called me?"

Jin Yanxi joked: "If I don't tell you who to call me, do you have to call me Seventh Young Mistress before you know how to call me?"

Bai Xiuzhu scolded: "Go..."

Jin Yanxi's teasing words about Bai Xiuzhu started the banquet and made everyone in the hall laugh. Jin Mu and Jin Quan looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, while the third sister-in-law and others laughed, envied and meant.

Shen Chang, Jin Daozhi and other sisters also covered their mouths and smiled.

Bai Xiuzhu sat generously next to her third sister-in-law Wang Yufen. She was so arrogant that she wouldn't go over.

Jin Pengzhen said with a smile: "Look, those who should sit together don't sit together, and those who shouldn't sit together sit together instead."

Wang Yufen threatened: "What did you say?"

Jin Pengzhen said timidly: "I was joking."

Bai Xiuzhu announced: "Sixth brother went to Shanghai a few years ago and hired a lot of senior technicians. The new version of Diaochan brand floral cloth will be on the market, so I decided to give everyone two sets of clothes, starting from my father.

Even the maidservants all have a share."

Jin Yanxi joked: "I didn't realize it, but you are still a prodigal woman."

This time Bai Xiuzhu finally couldn't hold back her shyness. Although these words made her face heat up, she couldn't reply to Jin Yanxi in front of her elders, so her pretty face turned red.

Liu Tiantian said childishly: "Little aunt, why are you shy?"

This sentence was really a magic touch, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Even Bai Xiuzhu couldn't help laughing.

Jin Quan Laohuai said with great consolation: "This kid is so funny."

Jin's mother smiled and said, "Mom, I can't do anything wrong to you. Xiuzhu's gift of these floral clothes will be regarded as advertising expenses. From now on, all Jin family's sheets, quilts, curtains, and tablecloths will be purchased from Diaochan brand floral cloth."

Bai Xiuzhu thanked her and said, "Then I would like to thank my mother."

Amidst the laughter and laughter, the whole family did not realize that Bai Xiuzhu became the favorite of the Jin family after she passed away. Even the daughters-in-law of the Jin family felt that this should be the case. Although they were envious, they could not be jealous.

Love.

So even the sixth sister, Jin Runzhi, couldn't help but look at Jin Yanxi in confusion. Because Jin Yanxi had surprised her so much in the past year, she had to re-examine this seventh brother.

My father thinks that the seventh brother is very talented, so he has always had high hopes for his seventh brother. Now it seems that his father is the right one.

After dinner, everyone came to the main hall again. Aunt Cui had already set up the mahjong table. Everyone wanted to play a few laps to their heart's content. Who let Jin Quan end up too? This was a rare opportunity to cheat the old man out of his money.

Bai Xiuzhu is not a lonely Qingqiu, so she will not go back upstairs alone at this time to feel sad. Moreover, she is having fun now, and she will not be homesick and go back to Bai Mansion.

This game lasted until midnight. Jin Quan's skills were not good and he lost a lot of money, but he didn't care and thought it was an early separation.

When it comes to dividing the family, there is an unwritten rule in the Jin family, that is, the antiques collected by Jin Quan’s father and grandfather will be given to each daughter-in-law as lucky money. Bai Xiuzhu chose the most valuable pair of jade bracelets without hesitation.

The quality is much more valuable than the pair of ruby ​​bracelets given to Xiao Lian.

Even late at night, after everyone set off firecrackers and fireworks, the second wife, Mrs. He, arranged for dumplings with various fillings to be delivered for everyone to enjoy, setting off another wave of family celebrations.

It was difficult for Jin Quan to eat a few more dumplings, and then after everyone had finished eating, Jin Quan wanted to send everyone away.

Jin Quan ordered: "It's rare for you to stay here with me. It's already this hour. Let's disperse."

Aunt Cui smiled and said: "Master is right, why should we get together? If you are married, why don't you go back and hurry up and give Tiantian a playmate?"

The dirty words of these words made all the girls and daughters-in-law present feel ashamed. Only Bai Xiuzhu hesitated to speak, as if she had something to say.

Jin Yanxi said keenly: "Xiuzhu, you react like this when Aunt Cui mentions children. Am I going to be a father?"

Bai Xiuzhu nodded and said: "Yes."

Jin Yanxi said happily: "Okay, I have a son, hahahaha..."

……

Capital·Jin Mansion·Seven Bedrooms.

But he said that the servants are here. Today is the Chinese New Year and the servants are all on holiday, so they all gathered in Xiao Lian's room to play mahjong.

In addition to Xiao Lian watching the game, Xiaohong, Xiaolan, Qiuxiang, A'nan, Yu'er, Sophora japonica, Tian Xiao'e, and Li Xiangxiu sat in two circles, just enough to form two tables of mahjong.

There are peanuts, melon seeds, a few small wine glasses, and a silver wine flask on the coffee table nearby, placed casually.

The steaming heater heated up the house, making the girls' faces all red and wearing only thin clothes.

As for the maids of the Jin family, they are all arrogant. Let’s talk about Fifth Miss Jin Minzhi’s maid Ah Nan. She just complained that the lotus leaf meat was too greasy. These days, there are still servants who are afraid of greasy food.
p>

Since Jin Yanxi, who likes light food, also changed her taste to greasy food, all the owners of the Jin family have become carnivores, and lotus leaf meat is Jin Quan's favorite dish, so the kitchen will specially prepare this dish for every banquet.

The cooking method is not very greasy, but unexpectedly, a little maid disliked it.

If the entire mansion wasn't rich in clothes and food, and the entire family was rich in material things, how could it be the turn of a lowly little maid to pick and choose?

Therefore, such a luxurious person is always wary of Jin Yanxi, and there are times when Yuan Shu can't drink the honey water, so he must avoid ending up in a vast white land that is really clean.

A-nan reminded: "Sister Xiao Lian, you have to be careful. I heard that Aunt Wanxiang was sent to the Wu Mansion by the eldest mistress to learn the rules."

Wu Xiaolian teased: "Don't worry about me, just talk about yourself. When will you marry yourself like Feng'er?"

Xiao Hong said with a smile: "I heard that your lover's brother is called Hua Bingfa. Have you written to him recently?"

A'nan said angrily: "Humph, you always ask me to do something, you see if I do it or not."

Qiu Xiang said with a smile: "Hey, you are still angry. You can't be angry with your aunt and grandma. We are both illiterate. In the future, you will have to rely on our aunt and grandma to write letters to your brother Bingfa."

Ah Nan said angrily: "You..."

Everyone laughed again, and it was not until midnight that everyone fell asleep in the small room, but the lights in the room were still bright.

……

Beijing·Jin Mansion·Garden.

New Year's Eve has passed, but the spirit of the New Year remains the same, and all stores in the capital are closed. Unlike later generations, it is really impossible to buy anything before the Lantern Festival.

Bai Xiuzhu is in great trouble now. She is just a national treasure, Yaya. She has not become the key protection target of Shangfang. She lived with Jinmu last night. Speaking of the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is pregnant, but Jinmu is not as precious as her.

Yeah.

Jin Yanxi is on the phone with Liu Fangzi at the moment. She must say that this Liu Fangzi is really capable of doing things. He has handled several big cases after taking over the Rangers, and now he patrols effectively and prevents fires. He is much better than Bai Jingsi who just eats nothing in the corpse position.

Jin Yanxi put down the phone and said, "It's finally done. I have to deal with official business during the Chinese New Year."

What Jin Yanxi didn't know was that someone was peeking at her while she was working hard. The person who was peeking at her was Tian Xiao'e. She was a little bit obsessed with it. Being born in the northwest, most of the men she had seen were old-fashioned.

When I saw her, I almost cried out in laughter, but this seventh master is not only handsome, but also a gentleman.

(Jin Yanxi: Anyone who marries a fairy sister will become a gentleman when looking at other women.)

(Tian Xiao'e:......)

Seeing Jin Yanxi turn around, Tian Xiao'e hurriedly ran to the garden and pretended to feed the parrot Xiaoyun, but because she had something on her mind, the parrot ignored her words.

Jin Yanxi walked into the garden and looked at Tian Xiao'e who was hanging her head. She was tall, with waist and shoulders, a duck-oval face, and a cute flow on her high nose. She was a standard beauty.

Under the sunlight, even the slight freckles on his face were invisible at this time, making him look even more beautiful and charming than usual.

Perhaps knowing that Jin Yanxi was looking at her, Tian Xiao'e lowered her head subconsciously, her face suddenly felt hot, and her hands and feet felt like they had nowhere to rest.

This feeling made Tian Xiao'e very embarrassed. She tried hard to calm her beating heart, but she couldn't help herself for a long time because she couldn't help but wonder whether Jin Yanxi had figured out her feelings.

Jin Yanxi smiled and asked: "Xiao'e, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Xiao'e said seriously: "It's nothing..."

Seeing Tian Xiao'e raising her head, Jin Yanxi was also happy to do so. It was a good choice to appreciate the slim curves of a perfect person and the pretty face of a beauty from the front.
