After the rebirth of the Prime Minister's wife

Xia Sichan took Xiao Chenrong, and then complained to Wei Ziqian with her mouth puckered: "Master, mother-in-law wrote, saying that she won't come back for the New Year this year."

Wei Ziqian saw that his little wife looked unhappy, like a little girl who couldn't see her parents, she was inexplicably cute.

After thinking for a while, Wei Ziqian smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, Mom and Dad won't come back this year, and we will spend dozens of 'years' with them in the future."

On the night of turning around, the brows were slightly relaxed, thinking of something, he said: "It just so happens that only the third elder brother is at home at my father-in-law's house. Let's go to accompany the second elder with a smile on the first day of the new year."

Seeing what he said, Xia Sichan's eyes lit up.

He jumped up and said: "Okay, that's great, let's invite grandpa to have a reunion year together!"

"Well, that's the deal." Xia Sichan, as if afraid of Wei Ziqian's repentance, playfully stretched out her little finger and hooked his little finger.

The charcoal fire in the room was burning vigorously, and the orange fire light shone on her face, making her face flushed red, and her little face became brighter and more charming.

Wei Ziqian's eyes were dark and deep
"Smile and be good, mother hugs, let daddy wash his hands, and we'll have dinner."

Xia Sichan's refreshing voice washed away his charming thoughts.

Afterwards, Xia Sichan didn't forget to hand over the letter from her parents-in-law to Wei Ziqian: "Sir, here, this is a letter from my parents-in-law."

Wei Ziqian freed up one hand, put the letter in his sleeve pocket, and read it at night.

Xia Sichan first let Wei Ziqian get over his addiction to holding the child for a while, then took little Shen Rong from his hand.

Since having little Shen Rong, Wei Ziqian's cleanliness has improved a lot, it can be said that the cleanliness has disappeared.

When did he go home without taking a shower and changing clothes first?
Not to mention that the official robe has not been changed, so let's play with the child for a while?
The little guy is not difficult to coax, he is very cute, he can be hugged by dad or mom, she is not picky.

During tea time, Wei Ziqian was wearing a light blue round-neck robe, and a ring-shaped suet jade pendant on his girdle. With his steps, dark green tassels dangled, looking casual and elegant.

Xia Sichan's eyes lit up, and she praised without hesitation: "My husband is so handsome!"

Xia Sichan's compliment put Wei Ziqian in a good mood, not only was there a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he also ate half a bowl of rice for lunch.

This is really a rare thing. Usually, he eats only % full and never gluttonous. He is a very self-disciplined person.

Today is unusual.

In the middle of the night, the autumn wind is rustling, and the chill is getting heavier.

After dinner, he accompanied Xia Sichan to finish the meal and went back to the dormitory. Wei Ziqian sat on the long desk under the window where Xia Sichan used to read, and opened the letter written by his parents. He knew that his parents would not return to Beijing this year The reason for celebrating the New Year is to spend the New Year with my grandfather's family in Luzhou.

After reading the letter, Wei Ziqian carefully folded the paper and put it in the drawer.

Afterwards, he studied ink, unfolded rice paper, and took up a lake pen to write a reply to his parents.

As soon as the season comes to the twelfth lunar month, it's time to do New Year's events.

The age is the most important thing to worship the ancestors, so Wei Ziqian asked the senior officials to open the ancestral hall first, send people to clean it, and at the same time clean up the offering vessels to prepare for the sacrifice.

Wei Ziqian intends to take advantage of the rest day to give Xia Sichan some necessary things for the Wei family during the Chinese New Year.

He knew that his youngest wife was pregnant during Chinese New Year last year, so he didn't need to participate in the ancestor worship.

And the many trivial matters that need to be prepared for the New Year will not make Xia Sichan worry about it.

This year is different, parents are not at home, and the house is divided again.

All these tedious and necessary annual events will fall on Xia Sichan's shoulders.

However, Wei Ziqian will accompany her to operate it by himself.

After taking a bath this day, after breakfast, when Xiao Chenrong was brought by the nanny to the porch to play in the sun with the netting servant Ju and the others, he took his little wife's slippery little hand and went to his room in Xici. In the small study.

After the two of them sat in the black sandalwood armchair, Wei Ziqian gave her a general introduction to the preparations for the New Year in the Wei Mansion, as well as the specific operations: "Chan'er, in a few days, we will be preparing for the New Year."

Xia Sichan lived in the Wei Mansion for more than three years in her previous life, so she must know the necessary things about the Wei family's age.

In fact, the Wei family's New Year's Day is roughly the same as that of most nobles from aristocratic families.

Needless to say, the aristocrats of the family are like this, and the age of the rich and wealthy gentry's New Year's Day preparations is not much different from that of the aristocrats.

Therefore, not only did Xia Sichan experience it in the Wei family in her previous life, she also experienced it behind her parents in the Xia family.It's just that the members of the Xia family are simple and not as powerful as the Wei family.

In addition to worshiping the ancestors during the Chinese New Year, the second is the New Year's Eve, which is the distribution of New Year's money.

When the old lady was in the mansion before, she prepared a lot of New Year's money.

The New Year's money in the Wei Mansion is also exquisitely made. Hundreds of small zizi are cast with some scattered silver, some in the plum blossom style, some in the crabapple style, and there are also different styles such as pen ingot Ruyi, Babao Lianchun and so on.

One is to celebrate the new year for the juniors, the other is to give rewards to the servants, and the third is to distribute them to the nanny in charge of each room, and keep them for daily rewards.

The third is to give new year gifts, the Wei family does not need to give gifts to the powerful.

The annual gifts sent out are almost all from the natal family of each house. You are like the Cao family of the old lady's natal family, and the annual gifts sent every year are the most abundant.

The second is Prince Cong's Mansion. As for the New Year's gift for Prince Cong's Mansion, the old lady doesn't have to worry about it, the eldest daughter-in-law will handle it herself.

Secondly, it is the natal family of the second room Liu and the third room He.

This year is the lightest year in the past, and the annual gifts are only given to Xia Sichan's natal family and the old general Ding's family.

And no one is jealous, you can send whatever you want.

The fourth is to distribute yearly items to the children of the prefecture. Although the government has been divided, this yearly items cannot be saved.

The fifth is to post couplets and change the door god.

For this posting of the couplet, the change of the door god will not be posted until the 28th night of the end of the year. However, Xia Sichan is thinking that the red lanterns can be hung up in advance, especially the Qingxiang Garden of the princess mother-in-law. Hang it out to add some joy to the cold yard.

Besides, this year I thought there was no need to post couplets for national funerals, and it was okay to hang red lanterns in the yard.

So, from the middle of the twelfth lunar month, from the porch to the promenade, the eaves and even the treetops and gazebos, festive red lanterns of various styles and materials were hung in the palace of the Duke of Baoguo.

Sixth, conspicuous places such as facades and listings are all preparations for the New Year.

Xia Sichan patiently listened to Wei Ziqian's elucidation of her age, nodded her head and said, "Chan'er knows, but there should be something like making new clothes for the servants." He poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

Wei Ziqian stroked his forehead and said, "Hey, it seems that my husband almost forgot."

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve. Although the master was young, he still dressed up the mansion in a decent way. He was very happy and full of New Year's flavor!

However, it is the most cumbersome for a large family to purchase anniversaries, and it cannot be lost.
