Chapter 617: Beautiful Fireworks, New Year's Eve
Shen Jiarou felt a little shy, but she was already used to facing things calmly.
After the meal, the family of six took a nap in Yilan Residence. Jiang Ziyi and Shen Jiarou slept together, while Jiang Ruofan slept alone on the couch.
After Jiang Ruofan woke up, he got up and walked to the edge of the bed. Looking at the mother and daughter sleeping soundly, his face was full of happy smiles.
At this time, there was a noise outside. Jiang Ruofan put on his thick cloak, tied it up and opened the door.
"Brother Heng, keep your voice down. Mother and sister are still sleeping."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziheng quickly shut his mouth, pointed outside, and went out to play in the yard with his other brothers and sisters.
Shen Jiarou woke up and looked at the couch, only to find that Jiang Ruofan was gone. She sat up and prepared to get out of bed, but was startled by Jiang Ziyi's voice.
"Mother, where are you going?"
"You're awake, then get up and play with your brothers and sisters."
Jiang Ziyi nodded, and Shen Jiarou put on her bright red cotton-padded jacket and dress, took her to sit next to the dressing table, and began to braid her hair.
When Jiang Ruofan came in, he saw his wife patiently dividing their daughter's hair into four parts and tying them up. The hair on both sides was braided and tied with red hairbands, and the two strands of hair at the back were braided separately and rolled into an oval and fixed with a hairpin. She looked beautiful and well-behaved, a real fairy.
"My dear daughter, take a look. Do you like it?"
Jiang Ziyi looked at herself in the mirror and smiled happily.
"Yes, mother, I like it very much."
While playing with her brothers and sisters, Jiang Ziyi's hairstyle received widespread praise, which made her very happy.
At 1 p.m., the family of six prepared to return to the princess's residence to celebrate the New Year. Jiang Shengping and Madam Jiang were reluctant to let them go and accompanied them all the way to the door of the prince consort's residence.
"Dear granddaughter, come early tomorrow and grandpa will make you something delicious." Over the years, Jiang Shengping has become accustomed to a peaceful life. In his spare time, he and his wife have started to cook some simple meals. However, the children like what he cooks very much, which makes him quite proud.
The food he makes is enjoyed by others and gives him a sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Ziyi nodded obediently: "Okay, Grandfather."
When the family of six returned to the princess's mansion, Emperor Wenzong of Tang had already been wandering around the mansion for an hour, eating a lot of cakes, drinks and snacks.
Bao Zhiqing kept talking to his adoptive father, and Emperor Wenzong of Tang did not feel bored.
When Nanny Su saw her princess coming back, she approached her enthusiastically.
"The princess and her husband are back. The master has the captain of the guard to accompany him all the time, so he shouldn't be bored." She also arranged for Elemental Frost to send a lot of food and drinks.
Shen Jiarou smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam Su."
Jiang Ziheng looked at Su Ma and said coquettishly: "Grandma Su, I haven't been home for a day. Do you miss me?"
Madam Su looked at the second young master who was acting like a spoiled child to her and smiled: "Come to think of it, Grandma Su even had someone make the green rice balls that you like to eat."
Jiang Ziheng was delighted when he heard this and said, "Thank you, Grandma Su. I will take care of you in the future."
Nanny Su was so coaxed that she couldn't stop laughing. Having met such good masters, her life in her later years can be considered good.
"Come on, come on, Grandma Su will take you to eat."
"Okay, let's go."
Looking at their little son jumping around, the couple shook their heads helplessly and followed him to take a look.
Mrs. Qin brought the green dumplings to a room in the courtyard, and everyone helped themselves to them, and soon they were all finished.
Jiang Ziheng originally wanted to eat more, but when he looked down, he saw that the plate was empty. He glanced around in shock and blinked.
"Gone?"
Aunt Su found his expression funny: "Aunt Su, can you make it better next time? We will have more delicious food to eat in the evening."
Jiang Ziheng was successfully coaxed into calm, and was running around in the courtyard with his brothers and sisters. Suddenly, he bumped into someone's arms. He looked up and found that it was his grandfather.
"Grandfather, how did you come out so quickly? You're amazing."
Shen Jiarou couldn't help but spit at Jiang Ruofan in the face.
"I'm sorry, husband, I didn't mean it."
The unlucky Jiang Ruofan reached out and touched his face: "It's okay, I'll just go wash it."
Seeing his embarrassed figure as he got up and left, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but cover her face and laugh, and Zhang Zirou, Nami and Rezana also laughed.
"Princess, your husband has really suffered an unprovoked disaster." Zhang Zirou continued to laugh after she said this. Shen Jiarou also kept laughing until Emperor Wenzong of Tang sat down.
"You are back."
"Father, you seemed to be drinking happily at the palace banquet yesterday, but you should drink in moderation in the future."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was already accustomed to his daughter's nagging.
"Okay, okay, I will pay attention next time."
When Jiang Ruofan came back, everyone in the courtyard was chatting happily. He listened to everyone's voices and started laughing too.
"Father-in-law, when did you arrive?"
"My son-in-law is here, and soon I will be here at three quarters of an hour."
Everyone chatted for a while, and the reunion dinner that Nanny Su had asked someone to prepare was ready.
"It's time for the reunion dinner, gourmets, here we come."
"Mother, please look after my fourth brother."
Shen Jiarou smiled at her daughter. Jiang Ruofan helped her sit down and then sat next to Shen Jiarou. Tang Wenzong sat below Jiang Ruofan to avoid suspicion. Jiang Ziyi happily sat next to Shen Jiarou.
Seeing the peeled braised eggs, Jiang Zihao sighed.
"Alas, I don't even have the chance to peel eggs for my parents to show my filial piety."
Uncle Hei laughed out loud when he heard this: "The Third Young Master has become more sensible now."
Nanny Su quickly replied, "That's not true. Our Third Young Master is also a well-behaved and obedient child."
Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan looked at each other silently: You are really good at telling lies with your eyes open.
After the meal, fireworks were set off in every corner of the princess's mansion as planned. This lasted for a full hour, and the children in the mansion were delighted to watch.
“What beautiful fireworks.”
Under the fireworks were Shen Jiarou's family of six, as well as Tang Wenzong and others. The servants also all looked up at the sky.
The places with the most fireworks this year were Princess Yongkang's Mansion, County Princess Yongkang's Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion. The brilliant fireworks were so beautiful that people around them also enjoyed watching them to their heart's content.
Many people stayed up all night, but Jiang Ziwen and his two brothers were very energetic. They fell asleep before midnight, and only Jiang Ziyi was still in her mother's arms, listening to her singing.
"Kid, kid, don't be greedy.
After Laba Festival comes the New Year.
Laba porridge, drink it for a few days,
Lil la la twenty-three.
……
Twenty-eight, let the dough rise.
Twenty-nine, steamed buns.
Stay up all night on the 30th night,
On the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, people walked all over the streets. "
She sang the Xinyuan (Spring Festival) nursery rhyme.
On the first day of the new year, Nanny Su got up early, and Mrs. Qin and Grandpa Sun and Grandma Sun also got up early to prepare breakfast for the people in the mansion.
Today’s breakfast includes large dumplings (big glutinous rice balls) filled with stuffing, as well as small dumplings made from fermented glutinous rice wine. They are also served with rich brown sugar water, which you can add if you want.
