Chapter 65: New Year's Eve

Every New Year's Eve, the night is blooming thousands of miles, and the deafening sound of firecrackers, there is a lot of laughter inside and outside the Lan Wang Mansion.
As in previous years, all those who should go home for the New Year, such as Meng Chen, Lu Heng, and Tang Qingfeng, but the palace was several times more lively than last year. Ye Huailing and Pei Yuanshu set off fireworks in the front yard, Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaixin was sitting in the main hall discussing political affairs, while Ye Huaiyang took the responsibility of the mistress and ordered the people to be busy.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, the candles were painted high and the wine feast was in full swing.
"Brother-in-law is still lavish. It's a ten-year-old Ruilu wine. The taste is really extraordinary. Let me respect it!"
Ye Huai's head of Faith drank it, and Chu Jinglan also raised his glass far away. After drinking, before putting down his glass, he saw a certain water-red sleeve flashing quietly from the side, his sword eyebrows raised, and he was about to be uneasy. The parted hand pulled back.
"Not honest?"
Ye Huaiyang, who wanted to take advantage of the messy fish, suddenly collapsed, and said pitifully, "I want to eat sliced ​​black pepper chicken..."
Chu Jinglan ignored her, turned his head and said to Crescent Moon, "Put those spicy dishes farther."
The crescent moon followed the kindness, and rolled his sleeves forward and moved the boiled beef, chopped pepper fish head, fermented bean curd and winter bamboo shoots one by one to the other side of the round table. Now, even if Ye Huaiyang leaned out, he couldn’t reach it, so he could only watch. As the other people feasted, the saliva almost flowed all over the ground.
"Xiner..."
She changed her target at the right time. She thought that her brother would also start a small stove for her, or help her speak nice things, who knows that Ye Huaixin just glanced at her coolly and didn't mean to extend a helping hand. He also said: "Sister, your voice is not good, so avoid it, don't be so naive."
Ye Huailing chuckled and covered her mouth.
"It's your turn!" Ye Huaiyang became angry from embarrassment.
"I think you are the other way around." Chu Jinglan twisted her body and took a spoonful of almond chuanbei lean meat soup to her lips. "Be obedient, drink the soup first."
Someone who was still angry at the guts just now stopped suffocating. He caught a glimpse of the playful gazes of a few people on the table, and his face gradually blushed.
How could he feed her in front of so many people? I really want to teach her to be too self-confident!
But Chu Jinglan was calm, her black eyes fixedly looked at her, like a star in the sky, she was indulged in it, and she drank it without knowing it.
Ye Huailing smiled slyly: "Where is this soup that nourishes the lungs and relieves coughs? From my point of view, it is definitely a soup. Look at Seventh Sister, she won’t be able to turn when she is so attracted by her brother-in-law, haha!"
"A table of food can't stop your mouth." Ye Huaiyang snorted her, then turned to look at Pei Yuanshu, and asked directly, "I'll add 20 boxes of betrothal gifts, and I will also include eight big sedan chairs, when will you? Marry this little annoying spirit back?"
Originally, Pei Yuanshu was very happy to hear their family chatting. Unexpectedly, it happened to him. It was still such a blatant topic. He blushed immediately and said: "I, I have not been on, on Yefu Proposal..."
After returning from Jingzhou, Pei Yuanshu has opened his mind. The relationship between the two of them has been growing rapidly. Especially during this period, Ye Huaixin went to pick up Huailing several times and saw them stick together like glue. Unbearable. Under such circumstances, Pei Yuanshu's temperament would definitely not allow Ye Huailing to be slandered by gossip. It should have been a long time since he went to propose a marriage, but after so long, all the people present knew the reason.
The last time Pei Yuanshu did not work well, Chu Sanghuai was intrigued to kill him, but because Yue Ting was responsible for him and he did not obviously take refuge in Chu Jinglan, Chu Sanghuai let him go, but even so Now, he is almost a marginal figure in the staff department, unable to intervene in political affairs or handling internal affairs. He is completely reduced to a teacher. With such an embarrassing situation, how can he be embarrassed to propose marriage to one of the four largest families?
Ye Huaiyang has always been empathetic, so he comforted him now: "Even though our Ye family is a noble family, we don’t have a sense of distinction. We treat everyone equally. You can rest assured that as long as you are sincere. It's really good for Ling'er, uncle and aunt are naturally happy to see it happen, but..."
Ye Huailing listened to her with joy and sorrow from time to time, and her expression changed a few rounds. Now, seeing her hovering in the second half of the sentence, she became more anxious.
"It's just what? Seventh sister, you just say it!"
Ye Huaiyang ignored her, and only stared at Pei Yuanshu deeply, his voice was slightly heavy: "You know my position, and Ye Family will definitely be in this position in the future. If you want to marry Huailing, you must be psychologically prepared. ."
This was already very clear, Pei Yuanshu's face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything for a while.
In fact, he thought a lot during this period. From the tyranny of Chu Sanghuai to the misty court, these facts once made him extremely frustrated. He studied hard and entered the gold list not for the sake of wealth and glory, but for the justice and justice in his heart, so that the people can live a better life, and make Yangyang Dachu more prosperous, but his loyalty can only make him lose the country. Gone and never returned on the road, this was not what he wanted, so he had already made a decision before coming to Prince Lan.
In the warm flower hall, the atmosphere was stagnant, Pei Yuanshu suddenly lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, and solemnly proclaimed: "Weichen is willing to serve the prince and overthrow the tyrannical politics, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world!"
Chu Jinglan turned his head to look at him, his eyes flowed with clear waves, calm as usual, but exceptionally deep and unfathomable. The sharp light was heavy on Pei Yuanshu's shoulders, heavier than Mount Tai. It took him a long time to hear A very simple answer.
"Get up, tonight is a family dinner, no political affairs."
What does it mean? Rejected him?
Pei Yuanshu was still stunned. Ye Huaixin had already got up to pull him, with bright smiles between his eyes, "Brother in the future, won't you get up?"
He was forcibly pulled up and pressed back to his seat, and it took a long time before his mind turned around-a family banquet! Chu Jinglan used the word family banquet! In that case, he is no longer regarded as an outsider?
Going to look over there, Ye Huaiyang also looked at him with a smile, as if he had swallowed a pin, and his heart suddenly settled.
"Well, let's eat the vegetables, it should be cold in a while."
Everyone moved their chopsticks again, surrounded by the fragrant breeze and warm light, the various delicacies made one's forefinger trembling. During the banquet, everyone laughed and laughed, and they were very happy. After three rounds of wine, they couldn't help being slightly drunk.
Last year, when I had a New Year’s Eve dinner at the night house next door, Ye Huaixin first said the congratulatory message. This year, I changed to Prince Lan’s mansion and everything was business as usual. He smiled and gave a big gift, and said: "The new year is coming, I wish my brother-in-law will be proud of the mountains and rivers in the coming year, and the purple spirit will come to the east!"
Chu Jinglan glanced at him, and a very shallow smile crossed the corner of his mouth, "Couldn't you still imagine the day of the wedding, using all kinds of reasons to pour me drink?"
Ye Huaixin laughed: "How dare I? My sister is as fierce as a tiger, you must eat me!"
Usually Ye Huaiyang would laugh at him when he heard this. Today, I don’t know what’s wrong, and there’s no sound for a long time. Chu Jinglan feels something is wrong and immediately turns his head and finds that she is still eating quietly, so she tries. Called: "Younger?"
"Ok?"
Ye Huaiyang turned his small face slightly, and a pair of water-drenching eyes swirled on him, looking as translucent as before, but the corners of his eyes and brows were clearly floating with light crimson, like a peach-blossom makeup on the stage. , Reflecting the midnight moon shadow, silver shavings stained the temples, and roses growing on the cheeks, showing three points of beauty and seven points of intoxication.
This is... drunk?
Chu Jinglan looked up, her left hand was still holding a water-printed ice cup, and the pale cherry-colored wine in it had reached the bottom, and she didn't know which cup it was. He pulled her closer with his hand, and the breath was sweet. The fragrant wine smelled and the palms of his palms were a little hot, and he couldn't help but be surprised-he had already changed her fruit wine, why did she drink it like this?
He lifted her face and asked, "Yang'er, how many cups did you drink?"
Ye Huaiyang stretched out three fingers slowly, and felt that something was wrong after a while, and added another hand.
Are you drunk with eight glasses of fruit wine?
Chu Jinglan was a little bit dumbfounded, remembering the last time she was injured and being filled with wine by Bai Zhixuan, she looked like this when she came out of the palace, and she understood it in her heart, so she pulled her up to go back to the room. She stood up swayingly, seeming to be a little confused about what Chu Jinglan wanted to do, so she blurted out in front of everyone.
"Uncle Wang, where are we going?"
Chu Jinglan's face instantly turned green.
Recently, I don’t know what she is making about moths. This name is used extremely frequently, especially between the bedclothes. Whenever she is lost and in love, she will cry and call his uncle Wang, her body trembling lightly, sometimes tight, always It was to give him a veil and compact pleasure, and then there was crazy overturning, until she was completely limp in his arms and then forgot to continue to use words to tease him, afterwards he pretended to be angry, and she smiled softly. Overwhelming, it has since become a secret love between husband and wife.
But who could have expected her to shout out like this? Those who are good will understand after a little thought!
Without waiting for Ye Huaiyang to confide more secrets, Chu Jinglan swept her waist, and dragged her out of the flower hall. After leaving everyone's sight, he simply beat her up and picked her up. He quickly returned to the bedroom.
"Crescent, go get a basin of water."
Chu Jinglan let Ye Huaiyang lean against the bed, and then unbuttoned her collar so that she could breathe more smoothly. Crescent Moon brought hot water at the same time, and Chu Jinglan twisted a towel. Wiping Ye Huaiyang's face, but she wasn't awake much, so he tilted his head and looked at him, he couldn't help laughing.
"You yelled for a few days and asked me to stay up all night to watch the year with you. That would be great, so what else?"
Ye Huaiyang was slightly confused, and it didn't take long for him to habitually crawl over and retract into his arms. Without the usual arrogance, he became more and more like a child.
"Go to sleep when you are sleepy," he whispered.
Ye Huaiyang hummed again, but his eyes were still wide open, staring directly at the flowing water pattern on his flap.
Chu Jinglan sighed and said to herself: "I don't know if that thing should be shown to you now..."
After thinking about it for a long time, he got up and took it in the drawer. An ebony flat box with hollow metal patterns embedded in the four corners. When opened, it was blue and dripping. They were two sapphire pendants, and they could be seen passing by. It was carved twice, one of which was made into a pendant and one was still used as an ornament.
Chu Jinglan twisted the pendant, and put the purple silk ribbon tied on it around Ye Huaiyang's neck, and then hung another piece around his waist, Ye Huaiyang stroked the familiar lotus leaf and carp , The ignorant face suddenly brightened.
"this is mine……"
"It's the sapphire pendant you gave me on New Year's Eve last year." Chu Jinglan stroked her hair and said warmly, "I asked them to find the best craftsman in the capital city, and they all said they couldn't fix it, so I let him do it. It’s two yuan, half you take and the other half, okay?"
Ye Huaiyang murmured while holding the jade pendant: "But separated..."
Chu Jinglan suddenly lowered his head and grabbed her lips, gently sucking on the two soft pieces, and after a long time he let her go, and spit out a word in a low voice.
"Fenyu will not be separated, Yanger, we will never be separated."
