The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Huo Zhanting might be a military general who doesn't know how to talk about too many things, but in fact, he is a thoughtful person.

This world is unfair to women, so naturally girls should be given enough confidence and vision early on, so that they will not be easily deceived by sweet-talking men in the future.

Although Huo Jingyi didn't quite understand what her parents were worried about, she said happily:

"Then Yi'er will go and pick out gifts for Brother Duoduo and Brother Crown Prince tomorrow. Oh, and also Aunt Mingyue, Grandpa Nangong, Uncle Ze, Uncle Lu, Uncle Jinghuai, and Concubine Yan..."

Yier began to count the people she knew on her fingers, saying a long string of names, even a servant named Awang in the gatehouse was counted.

Shen Qinglan couldn't stop laughing when she heard this long list of names, and said to Huo Zhanting teasingly:

"The gift that Yi'er wants to give will be deducted from your salary."

If Huo Zhanting's salary were to be deducted, he would probably have worked for nothing for the whole next year.

Huo Zhanting's mouth twitched, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

At this time, the table was already filled with dishes, including crystal braised pork, auspicious rolls, steamed Wuchang fish, crab meat and pork belly, braised chrysanthemum and so on...

It is delicious and looks mouth-watering.

Lu Jinghuai was pulled by Feng Yuwan to sit together. He could vaguely smell the fragrance from Feng Yuwan's body, which made him feel a little embarrassed and wanted to avoid Feng Yuwan.

Lu Huaizhu was not there. He had been called back to Qinghe by his aunt Lu two days ago to celebrate the New Year.

After three rounds of drinks, the children could no longer sit still and were playing wildly in the yard with their sparklers.

Sure enough, the fairy wands look more colorful and beautiful when played with at night.

Especially when combined with the sounds of children laughing and playing, one can feel calm and peaceful in the heart, and the corners of their mouths can't help but rise.

Shen Qinglan leaned on Huo Zhanting's shoulder, a little tipsy, and looking at this scene, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Things from her previous life seemed to be very far away from her.

Today's world seems even more real.

The old princess had also drunk a lot at this time. She was holding the wine glass, tears in her eyes, and said with emotion:

"This year is destined to be an extraordinary year. Our Zhan Palace has gone from being in turmoil to being stable and peaceful now. All of this is because of Qinglan!"

"If it weren't for Qinglan, I'm afraid this family would have broken up long ago! Yan'er and Yi'er's illnesses would not have been cured, Ting'er would have been paralyzed in bed, and Yu'er and I would have been in trouble because of our poor judgment of people..."

When the old princess said this, she felt fear and relief, but more of it was gratitude for having a new life, and gratitude towards Shen Qinglan.

She looked at Shen Qinglan with even softer and more loving eyes, and after a pause she continued:

"Qinglan, thank you! Mother offers a toast to you."

The old princess said this and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan also stood up, toasted the old princess back, and said with a smile:

"Mother, why should you be so polite to me? We are a family, why do we need to be polite to each other?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Qiyu nodded and said seriously:

"Sister-in-law, even though we are a family, we cannot ignore your dedication and hard work for everyone just because we are family!"

"I think what mother said is right. Our family is still a family today, thanks to you. I also want to toast you."

If it weren't for Shen Qinglan, let alone the imperial court, even Xie Wanying would have broken up their family.

Although Huo Qiyu still had some resentment towards Shen Qinglan because of Xie Wanying's death, when she thought about it now, she really wanted to slap herself.

After going through so much, Huo Qiyu has completely understood what Shen Qinglan did.

Not only that, now that Huo Qiyu can manage such a large shop by herself, she has learned a lot.

And all of this was because of the opportunities Shen Qinglan gave her. She was naturally not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her.

Huo Qiyu drank it all in one gulp and shook the empty glass towards Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan smiled and did not answer, but just drank the wine obediently.

At this time, Lu Jinghuai could no longer sit still, so he stood up and said to Shen Qinglan:

"I also want to thank you, sister. If it weren't for you, Jing Huai would probably still be struggling to survive in the market. How could he have achieved what he has today? Jing Huai salutes you."

Seeing this, Feng Yuwan, who was standing by, also raised her hand excitedly and began to thank Shen Qinglan:

"Oh! And me, I want to... I want to thank the princess for believing in me, thank the princess for giving me a chance, thank the princess for protecting my life. In short, everything is in the wine, let's go!"

Shen Qinglan was also happy and drank all the wine he received.

Everyone toasted one by one, and Shen Qinglan drank with each one.

Huo Zhanting couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he snatched Shen Qinglan's wine glass and said to everyone, "You only know how to bully my wife."

Is this a hero saving a beauty?

Everyone's eyes rolled and they simply changed their target to Huo Zhanting.

The wine glasses were clinking and the laughter was continuous.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and another spring begins.

The family had planned to stay up together to celebrate the New Year, but in the end, everyone got drunk.

When the three little ones came back, they found that all the adults in the family were drunk.

"Oh my, we are all drunkards." Huo Jingyi still had the fairy wand in her hand and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Well, isn't it? Is this wine so delicious?" Huo Junyu walked forward with some suspicion, stretched out his index finger, dipped it in the wine, and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, Huo Junyu's little face wrinkled up and he said "Pooh, pooh, pooh" in disgust.

Why do adults like to drink this kind of spicy food? I really don't understand.

"What do you know? This is called "wine doesn't make you drunk, but you make yourself drunk. Father and mother are just happy."

Huo Junyan explained seriously, like a little adult.

Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi immediately nodded with a look of sudden enlightenment and said, "Oh! So that's how it is, brother, you are so smart."

Huo Junyan's expression didn't change much when he was praised, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Immediately, Huo Junyan suppressed his arrogance and ordered the servants to take the adults back to their rooms to rest.

Huo Junyu felt tired after playing for a while. He yawned and was about to go back to the room to sleep, but Huo Junyan grabbed him by the collar.

"Brother? What are you doing?" Huo Junyu asked helplessly, turning back.

"Guard, years." Huo Junyan said seriously.

All the adults fell down, but those three didn’t!

It is absolutely necessary to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. This is a tradition and a custom!

Huo Junyu and Huo Jingyi were a little shocked when they heard what Huo Junyan said, but seeing that Huo Junyan looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, they could only agree reluctantly.

So, on this New Year's Eve, the adults all fell drunk and went to sleep, but the three little ones took on the important task of staying up all night.
