Chapter 221 During the Chinese New Year
It was soon New Year's Eve. The population of Anguo Duke's Mansion was simple and there were many rules. However, Yan Huo was pregnant with Liujia, so he didn't need to pay attention to the huge rules. The old Duke even refused to let her kneel down when worshiping his ancestors, "You have the descendants of the Fu family in your stomach, and you don't have to pay attention to those etiquettes, and the ancestors will not blame them."
Yan Huo just took a wine glass and sprinkled it on the ground. He respected his ancestors and ancestors and even completed the ceremony.
Then the family had the New Year's Eve dinner. Yan Hu could only drink honey water. The others drank Tusu wine. Before raising their glasses to drink together, Duke An Guo still recited a poem, "There are hundreds of medicines in the charcoal stove, and Tusu wine and pepper cups. There were no visitors in the Ming Dynasty, and the mud was one foot deep after the snow."
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the eldest princess Chengyang urged Fu Zhixing to help Yanhu back to Pupan Courtyard, and told Yanhu, "If you are sleepy, sleep and don't stay up late. It's just that whether you are guarding this year or not."
"I understand, grandmother." Yan Huo responded with a smile.
Han instructed the four maids to lift the sedan chair steadily and not to throw the young lady. Fu Zhixing helped the sedan chair into the sedan chair, and the four maids in front were carrying lamps, followed by four maids who swept the snow, and then four maids who carried lamps.
This was a big battle, and Yan Hu felt that he was about to catch up with the Queen's trip.
Carefully along the way, when he arrived at Pupanyuan, Fu Zhixing helped Yan Hu into the warming pavilion and sat down on the kang, "What do you want to eat?"
"I just had the New Year's Eve dinner, and I'm still so full that I won't eat it." Yan Hu leaned on the pillow.
Fu Zhixing smiled and helped her take off her shoes, moved them to the kang and put them on. He sat beside her and gently helped her pinch her calves. Listening to the faint sound of firecrackers outside, Yan Huo smiled and said, "Fu Dacaizi, I'll give you a couplet."
"Look at me with your ears." Fu Zhixing smiled.
"The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year." Yan Huo smiled.
"This sentence comes from 'The year is gone with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the slaughter of the summer. Thousands of households are shining brightly, and they always replace the old charms with new peaches.' Then I will welcome the New Year with the spring breeze." Fu Zhixing stretched out his hand and lifted her chin, "Why should I have some rewards for being so neat? "
Yan Huo pouted, "Let you kiss."
Of course, Fu Zhixing was invited by Guer. As you wish, his lips covered his lips and teeth depended on each other, and he felt that the other party was extremely sweet. After a long time, his lips parted, and Yan Huo gasped. Fu Zhixing hugged her, in her ear, and said softly: "We will spend every New Year's Eve in the future together."
"Yeah" Yan Hu's lips raised, and he made a wish silently, hoping that he would stay with you every year and every day.
Yan Hu was pregnant and had limited energy. At three o'clock in the hour of Hai, he drank hot milk and went to bed. Fu Zhixing was in the warm room and asked his maid to set off firecrackers when the New Year was in the warm room. He went into the room and covered Yan Hu's ears, so that the sound of firecrackers would not wake her up.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Zhixing had already asked Yan Hu for leave and did not have to go to the palace. Yan Huo was happy to wake up naturally. After getting up, he ate a bowl of dumplings, and then slid around in the room. Mugwort, ginkgo, and maize maids followed nervously.
"Ginkgo, go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make a few cups of ginger soup, and wait until the old Duke and the others come back to have a good taste." Yan Hu instructed.
Ginkgo took the order and left.
According to the practice of previous years, the ceremony was usually over at the Si hour. The royal relatives and noble officials who were honored had to go home for lunch. But this year, it was almost noon and no one was back.
Yan Huo was anxious. What was wrong? She had a big belly and couldn't go to the outer courtyard, so she had to send her maid to ask frequently.
At noon, she finally waited for the person back. Yan Huo looked at Fu Zhixing, "Husband." His voice cords were crying. She didn't see anyone. She kept thinking about it, which scared herself to the point of panic.
Fu Zhixing quickly stepped forward and hugged the person, "It's my fault, I should have someone come back and report it."
"What happened? Why is it so late?" Yan Huo asked upside down.
"The imperial tomb collapsed, and the Supreme Emperor was furious." Fu Zhixing said simply.
Yan Hu frowned, "The imperial tomb has collapsed. Could it be that Tang Hui is making trouble?" This is the reason Yan Hu could think of.
"It's possible, but it's also possible that it's cutting corners during construction." Fu Zhixing did not investigate and did not want to wrongly accuse people, even if that person was his original opponent.
"How should the Supreme Emperor deal with this matter?" Yan Huo asked.
Fu Zhixing replied: "The imperial tomb was built when the Minister of Works was the Right Minister. Now something happened, he was dismissed from the official position to be investigated. The emperor sent someone to the imperial tomb to find out the cause of the collapse and then convicted him."
"Will you send you again?" Yan Huo pouted.
Fu Zhixing kissed the corner of her lips, "Send Prince Su and Prince Xiaoen to go." The emperor originally believed in him, so he resigned.
Yan Huo sighed lightly and patted his chest.
"People are looking forward to their husbands making achievements and winning their wives and children. Why don't you think about it at all?" Fu Zhixing asked with a smile.
"I regret that my husband will find a title of marquis." Yan Huo glanced at him, "Besides, you are the princess of the First-Class Duke's Mansion, and I am also the prince's wife. This will be the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion in the future. That's Yinzi."
Fu Zhixing smiled and did not tell her how many nobles had titles and no real power. In the end, they slowly fell down and could only live in the seller's life. Of course, he would not let this happen. He would not take over the power, attract suspicion from the emperor, nor would he have no power in his hands and lose his holy heart.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Zhixing accompanied his wife to his parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. There were not as many idle people waiting for the palace as if they were in the palace. There were no need to worry about collisions between the eldest princess Chengyang and Han family. Si Ye and Princess Yan had discussed that she did not want her daughter to run back and forth with her belly. But this was the first New Year after Yan Hu got married, and there was no reason not to come. Besides, Yan Hu also wanted her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and nephews.
"Little sister." Yan Tongzhu and Zeng Yuzhi came out to pick them up.
"Big brother, sister-in-law." Yan Huo smiled.
Seeing that Yan Huo's face was rosy, his little face was round, and his body was covered with a large red golden silk embroidered peony pattern, he looked a little slower. Zeng Yuzhi stepped forward to help her, held her hand, which was quite warm, but he still asked with concern: "Are you cold?"
"It's okay in the car, but when I get off, I feel a little cold." Yan Huo smiled. The earcake rushed over and handed her the hand stove.
Yan Tongzhu Su knew that Yan Hu was afraid of the cold, "Then go in quickly."
When he entered the main hall to see Master Yan Si and Princess Nanping, Yan Hu said in a sweet voice: "Dad, my daughter wishes you a happy New Year. I wish you good health, all the best, and happiness every day."
"Okay, okay, come on, this is a red envelope." Master Yan Si said happily.
"I'm getting married, are there any more?" Yan Huo asked in surprise.
Master Yan Si said seriously: "You will still be my daughter when you get married."
"Thank you, Dad, Dad is the best, I like Dad the most." Yan Huo coaxed his father sweetly.
Master Yan was so happy that he was coaxed by his daughter.
