Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 113 New Year’s Eve

With the ringing of the bell from the Imperial Palace, New Year's Eve finally arrived. Wan Niang had already instructed the cook to prepare rich ingredients. This was her family's first New Year after the mourning period, and she attached great importance to it, especially since it was the first real New Year since her daughter was born.

Little Yining watched her grandparents leave with red eyes. They all went out to join in the fun, but she was not included.

Wang Ersheng was an official, so he had to attend the annual banquet for the emperor and his ministers, which started at noon and lasted until dusk before he could come back for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner. As a princess, Li Anhe had to attend the palace banquet at night, which was also the emperor's family banquet. This palace banquet was late, so how could her husband Wang Ersheng not accompany her? So when they came back, they gave everyone some New Year's money and stayed up all night.

Originally, the two elders wanted to take little Yining away in their arms, but were stopped by Lin Yuzan. The reason was of course very simple. There would be only a few hot dishes at this banquet, and she probably wouldn't like to eat them. Besides, the atmosphere was not good, so they didn't want to let her suffer.

Lin Yuzan: He has attended enough banquets like this.

Xiao Yining: I also want to see the singing and dancing performance. Dad is so mean.

She was left behind anyway.

"Why are you still here? Why don't you go back?" This is what Lin Yuzan said to Pei Yi.

"My father said he wanted to accompany the emperor to celebrate the New Year's Eve, and told me to do as I please. I will stay here of course. If my cousin is not happy, I will go back to my lonely home." Pei Yi said in a teasing tone.

"Husband." Wan Niang called out unhappily.

Lin Yuzan's dislike for Pei Yi sometimes showed up and sometimes didn't. He just snorted and shut up.

"Uncle, look at the paper-cuts I made." Little Yining ran over with the paper-cuts that Grandma Jinbao had just taught her to make. The third son, Zheng Yuan, had already returned to his hometown and would not be back until after the Chinese New Year. His wife, Lin Jinbao, had also closed her stall early and was resting at home to take care of her pregnancy.

Pei Yi took the crooked window paper-cut and complimented it against his will that it looked pretty.

As soon as little Yining showed her sweet smile, her father pulled her away. "Qingjie, practice one big character today, and practice another one tomorrow. If you follow through, you will be able to write a letter to your father in person next year."

"Dad, you are wrong. There is an end and a beginning." Xiao Yining corrected.

Lin Yuzan: ...

"Don't teach Sister Qing a bad lesson." This time it was Wang Cheng's turn to be unhappy. He kidnapped Xiao Yining and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Yuzan: ...

"Go and play. The emperor has been resting these days, so Qingjie doesn't need to hold a pen." Wang Cheng's words were obviously more important than Lin Yuzan's. Little Yining returned to sit next to the fellow villager and wait for dinner. In fact, she wanted to sit in a wheelchair and let the fellow villager take her for a spin, but if she did that, her father would probably explode on the spot.

Wang Lin placed the big table in the courtyard. Tonight, the palace would set off beautiful fireworks, and the whole family could enjoy them after finishing their New Year’s Eve dinner. “It would be nice if Dad and Mom didn’t go to the palace banquet, so that the whole family can be together.”

This reunion dinner is no longer a reunion.

But this is impossible.

"Uncle, if grandma and grandpa don't go to the palace banquet, they will probably beat uncle again tonight." Little Yining reminded, "If they beat him once today and once tomorrow, they will beat him every year next year."

Everyone secretly glanced at Wang Cheng who was arranging the dishes. Now he had become a real jerk. Every time he encountered a feather duster, he would break it. Li Anhe was still angry and even more angry. Of course, the more unlucky one was Wang Lin. He did nothing but gave some advice, but was beaten by both men and women, and then was sent away.

When talking about this, Wang Cheng showed a weird smile again, which made everyone feel a chill down their spine.

Everyone: This guy must have been beaten stupidly.

Wang Lin thought of the rumors and sighed helplessly. How could his brother become like this? The feng shui of Yanjing really changes people. Everyone becomes different, and he doesn’t know whether it is good or bad.

Wang - still a simple boy - Lin is a little sad.

However, the whole of Yanjing was in a festive mood, except for the Leng family. This year, the Leng family had a lot of bad luck. First, the rebellious daughter Leng Mengwan brought shame to the entire Leng family, and then they lost the position of Xima in the Ministry of Finance, which they had worked hard to get, and they were in debt because of using Chen Shuniang's dowry.

"I didn't expect that my third uncle would have the nerve to bring the whole family here for this reunion dinner." Mrs. Leng, Song Lanyin, looked at the embarrassed family with a mocking face.

Leng Qingyin, the head of the Leng family, looked at them with disgust, but still advised, "Ayin, even if we have separated, we are still a family. Come to the table. Your sister-in-law has already prepared your seats."

Leng Qingyun smiled flatteringly and said, "Thank you, big brother."

Leng Qingyin nodded and said, "Ayun, just kneel in the yard and watch us eat."

Leng Qingyun was stunned and shouted anxiously, "Brother... Today is New Year's Eve."

"If you don't want to, go and kneel in the ancestral hall, and then come out and go back on the Lantern Festival." Leng Qingyin said coldly.

"I." Leng Qingyun had no choice but to kneel down in humiliation. Seeing that he could not sit at the table, Chen Shuangyun and her daughter did not dare to enter the house and could only stand by.

"All the jokes in my Leng family are caused by my second and third brothers." Leng Qingyin glanced at Leng Qingnian again, his burned face full of coldness.

Leng Qingnian lowered his head and dared not speak.

"To this day, my third brother still wants to snatch Pei Dafu's son away from him, and he comes to our house and is humiliated by others."

Leng Mengxing raised his head sharply when he heard this, "Uncle, this is all A-di's fault. He didn't want to go home, which is why we are in this situation."

Chen Shuangyun quickly covered her daughter's mouth, but the disaster had already been caused by her words.

"You are disrespectful to your elders. You will be beaten." Song Lanyin waved her hand, and five or six maids came up and dragged Leng Mengxing away. The next moment, screams were heard.

Chen Shuangyun knelt down in front of the Madam and cried, "Madam, Xing'er is still young, please forgive her, please forgive her..."

Song Lanyin looked down at her and saw her dirty hands touching her beautiful skirt. She curled her lips and said, "Someone, shave this Aunt Chen's hair."

"Ah, no, no." Chen Shuangyun was also pulled down.

Leng Qingyun knelt on the ground and didn't dare to utter a word. He knew his elder brother's methods and was afraid that the punishment would fall on him the next moment.

"It's useless indeed." Leng Qingyin smiled contemptuously.

"Let's eat."

A young eunuch whispered a few words to Xiao Shunzi, who nodded slightly and reported the matter to Sheng Jingchen.

Sheng Jingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This Leng Qingyin knows how to behave, but it's a pity that he can't enter the court."

Pei Dafu smiled when he heard this.

"I wish our dynasty will prosper for thousands of years." At this time, the prime minister led hundreds of officials to raise their glasses and offer their congratulations.

"Okay." Sheng Jingchen also stood up and picked up the Ruchun wine and drank it all.

Little Yining held the wine cup in both hands. Although it had only a shallow bottom, it was still wine. Could she drink it when she was so young?

"Sister Qing, our family is different from other families. We don't need to follow that custom. You just need to drink up this Tu Su wine. Remember to drink it up in three times." Lin Yuzan said.

This Tu Su wine should be drunk first from the youngest, and then passed down to the elders. The older the person is, the later they will be, and those who are ill will be the later.

But little Yining had been weak and sickly since childhood, and Wanniang and Lin Yuzan were unwilling to do so.

"Sister Qing, are you going to get drunk and crazy?" Xiao Yining still didn't want to drink.

Everyone immediately looked at her with disapproval.

Little Yining stuck out her tongue and glanced at Pei Yi. He also had Tusu wine in his hand and wanted to drink it. Well, she had someone to accompany her. She drank the wine in three times. Wan Niang immediately took away the wine cup and brought a strange fruit plate. She pointed out one by one, "Come, Qingjie, break the cypress branches, and then break the persimmons and oranges apart. Break the persimmons first."

Xiao Yining: ..., is the New Year celebration so ceremonial here?

Xiao Yining did as everyone expected.

Lin Yuzan took the fruit plate and said, "Good luck to you. May everything go smoothly for Sister Qing next year. Come on, everyone have a taste and share in the good luck."

Xiao Yining snapped his fingers: There should be applause here.

This year is really different!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang"

Fireworks sparkle in the night sky,

The city is full of lights,

The seventh year of Shengwu has arrived.
