My host knocks cute

Chapter 964 Cold-faced Guards VS Unruly Princess (30)

It's New Year's Eve

It was snowing heavily outside the house, and the house was extremely lively.

In the center of the table covered with golden yellow mats was a mother-in-law pot. In the center of the mother-in-two pot was a milky white soup, while the soup around it was indeed dark red. There were many peppers and ingredients floating on the soup surface.

Eighteen delicious dishes and some hot pot dishes were placed around the mother-child pot, and the family sat at the table happily to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

In this era of Chinese New Year, there is not so much attention to food. Everything is determined according to one's own preferences, which is different every year.

The year before last was a dumpling banquet, last year it was a rice cake banquet, and this year, it has become a hot pot banquet.

On New Year's Eve, except for the guards, many of the servants in the mansion were on vacation, leaving only some servants who could not return home to be on duty.

Among them, Xiaoman was included.

"Xiao Man, it's finally Chinese New Year, how about you sit down and have a meal with us?" Su Qingyu suggested, holding Xiao Man's hand.

The others didn't have any objections. Don't they all want to be happy when it's Chinese New Year?

"Princess, this...is it against the rules?" Xiao Man looked at Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou sitting on the first seat, and lowered her head cautiously.

Her parents died early, and she no longer has any relatives in this world.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, she would either serve Su Qingyu by her side, or take a short vacation to go shopping in the streets, or spend the New Year with the servants of the family.

Never, never had a meal with the master of the house.

"It's okay, Xiaoman, sit down. You have served the princess for so many years, and you have been doing your best. We all see it. You will treat this meal as our reward." At this time, Mrs. Hou said.

The mistress of the house had already spoken, so Xiao Man couldn't shirk anymore, and sat down beside Su Qingyu cautiously.

"The soup is boiling, let's all start." Lord Hou picked up the chopsticks and spoke, and everyone started eating.

Su Qingyu aimed at the meatballs in the hot pot at a glance, and the chopsticks picked them up twice, but the meatballs were too slippery to pick up.

Seeing this, Xiao Man quickly got a small colander and helped Su Qingyu pick up the balls.

Su Qingyu said thank you: "Thank you, you are the best at critical times. Look at my brother, he is so close to that ball, he doesn't even know how to pinch it for me."

Someone lay on the gun for no reason, "Qingyu, why are you blaming me? I ate a chicken leg just now!"

Su Qingyu's mouth turned up: "Hmph! It's your fault, have you prepared my New Year's gift for me?"

"Qingyu, how can you talk to your brother like this?" Madam Hou Ye frowned, "Girls should act like girls."

"For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, let her go." Hou Ye gave Mrs. Hou Ye a slap with his arm, telling her to eat more food and talk less.

Mrs. Hou Ye advocates freedom, so she is not in the house like Lord Hou most of the time.

In some years, Lord Hou spent more time at home than Mrs. Hou.

Therefore, Su Qingyu lacked the discipline of his mother, so he was used to such a temper.

Mrs. Hou muttered a few words, instead of holding on to this topic, she changed the topic: "After the new year, Qingyu will be nineteen, and this marriage should be settled as soon as possible."

Well, it's better not to say anything, but to talk about this matter, Su Qingyu was just trying to get away.

Rolling her eyes, she said: "Mother, as the saying goes, the elders come first and the younger ones come later. My elder brother has not yet married a wife and had children, so how can my younger sister get married first?"
