Chapter 155: A Visitor from the Duke of Huguo’s Mansion
Ye Tang personally cooked a New Year’s Eve dinner.
Xiao Jingxuan, Ye Pingan and others were not idle and all helped out.
Ye Peng could see that his daughter was very happy today, which made him think of his daughter's adventure.
In addition to possessing the seed space, she also has many other abilities. These abilities are probably not obtained out of thin air, but were obtained at a great price.
Ye Peng looked at Ye Tang, who was smiling. His daughter looked so happy, as if she hadn't celebrated the New Year for a long time.
"Sister, that's enough! You've cooked too many dishes." Seeing Ye Tang continue to cook seventeen dishes, Ye Pingan quickly stopped her: "We have chicken, duck and fish, enough to eat! Sister, take it easy, and save the other dishes for tomorrow, okay?"
Ye Tang pursed her lips and said, "I originally wanted to make eighteen dishes. Since you said so, then fine, I won't cook it. Just take the dishes out."
"okay!"
The New Year’s Eve dinner was quite sumptuous. Everyone was full and the servants were also full with smiles on their faces.
The next day, the first day of the new year.
Elders such as Ye Tang, Xiao Jingxuan, Ye Ping'an, Ye Peng, Hong Longfei, and Liu An all stayed in the house, waiting for the children of the Xiao clan to come and pay New Year's greetings.
Ye Peng lowered his voice and asked Xiao Jingxuan: "How many children do you have in the Xiao clan?"
Jamel Xiao shook his head: “I don’t know.”
"So how many children will come today?"
"do not know."
"You don't know anything. You're nothing but a Sixth Master."
"In the past, these juniors would not come to wish me a happy new year. I thought it was troublesome. Today, my wife came. She wanted to experience the feeling of the juniors wishing her a happy new year, so I agreed."
In the past, he would just eat and sleep during the New Year, from morning to night, and from night to morning. Things like New Year's greetings and giving out New Year's money did not exist and had nothing to do with him.
But now...
Xiao Jingxuan stole a glance at Ye Tang and saw that she was holding a bag of carefully prepared red envelopes and looking towards the gate with anticipation. Xiao Jingxuan curled his lips and smiled.
Let her go!
The gate of the courtyard opened wide, and a group of small figures slowly appeared.
"Sixth Grandfather, Sixth Grandma, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"
"I wish you a happy new year and good health."
A group of children rushed into the small house, the younger ones were led by the older children, and each of them smiled like a boy giving away money.
In the past, younger generations were not allowed to come to pay New Year's greetings, as they just wanted to be alone and quiet. Today, Xiao Jingxuan rarely spoke up, and any children of the Xiao clan who wanted to pay New Year's greetings could come. The clan members were excited, and the children came in groups.
Jamel Xiao was numb. Ye Ping'an and Ye Peng were so tired of handing out New Year's money that their hands were soft. Their faces were as pale as paper. "Not enough, not enough. Fifty red envelopes are all gone. We have to prepare more."
Ye Tang's smiling face was drowned out by the children's repeated calls of "Sixth Grandma".
All the children who came today were able to walk. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, those children who were held in their parents’ arms were also brought here, bringing some New Year gifts.
As soon as Xiao Jingxuan agreed, people came to pay New Year's greetings one after another.
People come to wish us a happy new year every day.
"Let's go and pay New Year's greetings." On the sixth day of the New Year, after seeing off a group of younger generations who came to pay New Year's greetings, Xiao Jingxuan pulled Ye Tang into the room to pack up.
When the two came out, Liu An, Hong Longfei, Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an had also packed up their things and were ready to go out.
"Where are you going?" Ye Tang asked.
Ye Peng: "Of course we have to go out and have fun during the Chinese New Year! What's the point of staying at home every day!"
After arriving at the county town, Ye Peng and his companions went out to eat, drink and have fun, while Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan went directly to Prince Xian's Mansion.
"Cousin, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!" Xiao Jingxuan ran towards King Xian quickly, carrying a pot of wine, bacon, sausage, eight-treasure rice, and spicy hand-shredded chicken.
"Cousin, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!" Ye Tang ran to Qin Jinhua holding a pot of wintersweet that he had carefully cultivated.
Qin Jinhua's eyes lit up when she saw the wintersweet: "Where did you get such an elegant and pure wintersweet? The shape of this part looks like a heart."
Ye Tang looked proud: "I grew it myself."
Qin Jinhua was surprised: "You can also grow flowers?"
Ye Tang nodded: "Yes, any flower can be planted."
Qin Jinhua: "Then help me plant a Tianshan snow lotus."
Ye Tang: “…It can’t be grown.” The geology and climate here are not suitable.
"What flowers are you planting? Cousin, Happy New Year, give me your New Year's money." Xiao Jingxuan came over, and the gift in his hand disappeared, turning into a big red envelope.
Qin Jinhua was incredulous: "How dare you ask me for New Year's money when you are this old?"
Jamel Xiao: “I am your cousin even though I am so old.”
He held up the red envelope in his hand: "My cousin gave it all to me."
Qin Jinhua: “…” She really wanted to kick this shameless bastard out.
Qin Jinhua finally gave out two red envelopes, one to Xiao Jingxuan and one to Ye Tang, and Gongsun Tianhua gave another red envelope to Ye Tang.
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan held the red envelopes, grinning from ear to ear, and saying a bunch of auspicious words as if they were free.
After the Lantern Festival, it was Zhao Dongcheng’s wedding day. As a family with a good relationship with the Zhao family, Ye Tang’s family went to congratulate him.
After welcoming the bride home, Zhao Dongsheng caught a glimpse of Ye Tang's figure when he entered the door. His eyes moved slightly, as if they contained thousands of words.
This scene was accurately captured by Xiao Jingxuan. He moved his feet, walked over, hugged Ye Tang's shoulders, and gave Zhao Dongsheng a provocative smile.
Zhao Dongsheng frowned and looked away.
Ye Tang raised his head and glanced at Jamel Xiao.
"Why are you looking at me?" Jamel Xiao looked unhappy.
His wife seemed to be very popular. Every time he came to Wenggang Village, there would be men stealing glances at his wife. This was not the first time that Zhao Dongsheng had experienced this.
Ye Tang narrowed his eyes slightly: "You stepped on my foot."
Jamel Xiao: “…” No wonder my feet feel soft.
He silently moved his foot away: "Sorry, you can step back."
Ye Tang stepped back without any hesitation.
Jamel Xiao's face instantly turned the color of liver.
The wedding process went smoothly, and when they were about to have the banquet, Lu Anbang came hurriedly.
"Master, Madam, there are guests visiting our house. They say they are from the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion in the capital."
Ye Peng was sitting next to Jamel Xiao and heard this. His face darkened instantly. He snorted and said to Ye Tang and the others, “Don’t worry about it. Let’s talk about it after the meal.”
The old man sent someone, should he go to see him immediately?
Think beautiful!
Let it dry first.
Since Ye Peng said so, Ye Tang and the others didn't say anything and just waited for the meal to start.
Ye Tang also asked Lu Anbang to sit down. Since he was already here, he might as well eat before going back.
The meal lasted until dark, and all the guests left. Ye Tang and his companions slowly stood up, said goodbye to the Zhao family, got on the carriage, and slowly returned to Qingquan Village.
Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an also got on the carriage. Since it was related to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, they had to go and take a look.
Ye Peng drank a lot of wine and kept chattering in the carriage.
"When we get home, don't be nice to them. You must let them know that I am not someone you can mess with."
"It's been so long since the old man went back, and he only sent someone here after the New Year. I wonder what he did over there?"
"Send someone? Why doesn't he come in person?"
Ye Tang asked him, "Dad, if they take us to the capital, will we go?"
"No, we won't go with them. We'll go by ourselves."
The carriage entered Qingquan Village and slowly headed towards the Xiao residence.
From a distance, I could see that the lanterns at Xiao's house were all lit.
