Chapter 993
Another new year is here, counting the days, this is already Shangguan Qiuyu's second New Year in this world.

Unlike last year's lively and leisurely time in Yucheng, this year's Chinese New Year, Lord Zhen Guoxiong Shangguanxiong did not arrive in time to reunite with Shangguan Qiuyu and others in Bloodland City.

The Southeast Army Corps and the newly formed Southern Xinjiang Navy have newly entered southern Xinjiang, and the morale of the army has not yet been completely stabilized.

This year, in order to stabilize the nostalgia of the soldiers, Shangguanxiong had no choice but to stay in the army to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers.

Because of the many things going on in Xueyu City, the flavor of the new year is not as strong as imagined. All the civil and military retainers have not been allowed to take a holiday, and they are still busy with their work on this new year day.

In previous years, the low-level soldiers who were able to return home one by one on vacation, this year's vacation was postponed infinitely, and they were stationed in the barracks and could not go back to spend the New Year with their families.

'Thinking of loved ones every festive season'

In the previous life, Shangguan Qiuyu was an orphan, and at the same time, because he lived in a big city, he didn't have much feeling for the New Year and other festivals.

After all, there were too many forbidden things in the city in the previous life, which made people feel a little less happy with the New Year.

In the city, firecrackers sounded, one after another, endlessly, and the noisy people's ears couldn't help buzzing.

The busyness of the City Lord's Mansion did not affect the joy of the people in the city to welcome the New Year.

The sons and husbands of many people in the city are in the army, and they were not able to go home to celebrate the New Year together at this moment, which made many families feel a little regretful, but there were not many complaints.

As early as two or three days before the New Year, the Duke's Mansion paid five times the monthly salary to each soldier as compensation for the failure of the soldiers to return home for the New Year.

The military pay for the past six months has been sent to the families of the soldiers, which made many families in the city live a very comfortable New Year.

In and out of the city, at the moment when night fell, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, non-stop.

Many refugees stranded outside Xueyu City also enjoyed a taste of Chinese New Year on this day.

Although the Duke's Mansion can't guarantee that they will have a lot of fish and meat, it is still possible to let them have a full stomach today.

Inside the Duke's Mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and there was joy everywhere.

In the backyard, Nangong Shiluo was arranging the clothes of Shangguan Qiuyu who had just washed up, looking up and down, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

Looking at Nangong Shiluo who is as caring as a little daughter-in-law, Shangguan Qiuyu smiled and said:
"How is it? Is everything ready in the house?"

Reaching out a hand to stroke the hair on Shangguan Qiuyu's shoulders, Nangong Shiluo smiled sweetly, and couldn't help typing Xiao Ling'er's little report.

"It's all ready. Everyone is waiting for you, the major general, to start the banquet. That girl Xiao Ling'er has been complaining about waiting for you for too long, and she is sulking at a pile of meat."

"Well, let's go out quickly, don't make everyone wait." Shangguan Qiuyu said.

At this time, the night was completely dark, and the reunion dinner of every household in the city was probably coming to an end.

He didn't delay on purpose, but all the soldiers in the city and the refugees outside the city needed him to comfort and accompany them.

After all, whether they are soldiers in the army or refugees who have left their hometowns, they all cannot return home when the New Year comes, and the psychological feeling can be imagined.

As a major general, he can't do much for everyone, but it is still necessary to go and see for himself.

Therefore, unconsciously, the time to come back was delayed.

Regarding this, the people in the mansion didn't have any complaints, even if they did, they dared not.

During the banquet, Feng Yun'er was arranged to sit at the same table with Nangong Shiluo, Qi Yan'er, Xiao Ling'er and the four red-sleeved girls.

There was a vacant seat between Nangong Shiluo and Qi Yan'er, which was obviously specially reserved for Shangguan Qiuyu.

After Shangguan Qiuyu appeared, all the servants in charge of the mansion stepped forward one by one to greet the New Year.

After Shangguan Qiuyu finished saying a few words of New Year greetings, Xiao Lian'er led a dozen maids and walked towards him with a silver plate in their hands.

On the silver plate, there are big red kits.

All the servants who were in charge after paying homage to Shangguan Qiuyu showed smiles on their faces. Everyone thought that after picking up a bag of red envelopes, they would automatically return to the dining table, and they would not bother their own major general.

Shangguan Qiuyu, who finally pulled away, came to the table of Nangong Shiluo's fifth daughter with a look of dumbfounding.

Last year in Yucheng, because he had his own cheap grandfather, during the Chinese New Year, he didn't have these troubles except to accompany everyone to eat and drink.

Fortunately, Nangong Shiluo is behind him now, otherwise he might really be blind.

Before Shangguan Qiuyu sat down to take a breath, Xiao Ling'er on the opposite side stretched out his hand, blinked and said:
"Get rich in the new year, bring the red envelope, brother, where is my new year gift?"

When the other four heard Xiao Linger's words, they all involuntarily looked at Shangguan Qiuyu. Although they didn't reach out their hands, the eyes of the crowd told him, 'Where's our New Year's gift? '

Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu stunned on the spot with embarrassment, Xiao Linger said with a look of astonishment:

"You haven't prepared a New Year's gift for us, have you?"

Youdao said that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, Xiao Ling'er saw that he did not speak, so he added more fire, obviously provoking discord:

"Even if Sister Hongxiu and I don't have it, what about Sister Nangong and Sister Yan'er? Don't tell me that you didn't even prepare their presents. If you didn't say anything."

Seeing Xiao Ling'er deliberately finding fault, and seeing a trace of disappointment in the eyes of Nangong Shiluo and Qi Yan'er in the blink of an eye, Shangguan Qiuyu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Cough cough" Seeing that Xiao Ling'er was about to speak, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help coughing repeatedly, to warn Xiao Ling'er that enough is enough.

Seeing that Xiao Ling'er was uncomfortable looking for Shangguan Qiuyu on purpose, Nangong Shiluo had no choice but to interrupt her to save her sweetheart.

"Xiao Ling'er, don't talk about it, brother Yu is so busy every day, there is no time to think about these things, please stop making trouble.

Are you hungry?Brother Yu is here now, you can warm something up and eat.I'll help you blanch your favorite beef. "

Seeing Nangong Shiluo interrupting herself, Xiao Linger glanced at the beef in the pot, and muttered in a low voice:

"What's not available, when I was on the boat, I saw him and"

"Cough cough..."

When Shangguan Qiuyu, who was already a little disgraced, heard that Xiao Linger was going to mention that she bumped into him and Xiaoyu when they were having fun on the boat, he immediately coughed heavily again to interrupt what he hadn't finished speaking.

Although Xiao Linger's muttering was low, everyone could hear it clearly, even Nangong Shiluo, who was originally brushing beef for Xiao Linger, couldn't help but slack off when she heard the movements of her hands.

Seemingly, she glanced at Feng Yun'er who hadn't talked much to anyone, and then continued to move her hands.

On the other hand, Hongxiu, who was an outsider, couldn't help but light up when he heard this almost explosive news.

Her ears were erect, and she couldn't help secretly looking at Feng Yun'er beside her, urging Xiao Ling'er to continue talking from the bottom of her heart.
