"Mother?" There were a lot of curious people, but only one spoke.

Mu Yingbao opened her mouth to say something, but thought it was inappropriate to say it in front of so many people, so she put the letter away and said to Brother Hui, "It's okay, it's just a bored person who has nothing better to do."

Brother Hui understood that his mother was not willing to tell him, not because she did not want to tell him.

Therefore, he did not continue to ask.

Turning to look at Tao Qingyuan, he said, "Great-grandfather, my mother has already given me New Year's money, but you didn't show any appreciation?"

"It's too late. The New Year's money was given before the night of the 30th, so it's called New Year's money. Now it's already the early morning of the first day of the new year. Why do you still want the New Year's money? You should ask for it earlier next year." Tao Qingyuan said calmly, leaning back in his chair.

There was still some cream from the cake on his beard, which looked a little funny.

Everyone was happily eating their snacks and didn't pay attention, so no one reminded him to wipe it.

Mu Yingbao and her daughter saw it now, but they were both naughty and didn't warn anyone.

"Great-grandfather, since the New Year's money has exceeded the time limit, now it is the first day of the new year, and you haven't given me the red envelope for the first day of the new year." Brother Hui was unwilling.

Tao Qingyuan rolled his eyes at Brother Hui. "You are the ruler of a country now. The whole Yan State belongs to you. Why are you asking me for a red envelope? Shouldn't you give us a red envelope?"

An old man and a child were bickering, while others were eating snacks and watching the fun.

Luo Yi looked at the snack in the small bowl in his hand, which was said to be called jelly. It was peach-shaped, and in the crystal clear jelly, there were a few golden osmanthus flowers and a few pink peach petals.

It is pleasing to the eye and makes people reluctant to eat it.

"I am the emperor in the court, and I am your great-grandson in this room. Don't be stingy, give me the red envelope." Brother Hui was relentless and was determined to get the red envelope today.

My mother has given it all, so of course I should give it to my great-grandfather as he is the elder.

"Are you short of this little money?" Tao Qingyuan asked.

Brother Hui nodded immediately; "Yes." This made everyone laugh again.

Tao Qingyuan shook his head helplessly, sat up straight, opened his cotton robe and took out a large purse from his waist, and called out to Brother Hui: "If you want red envelopes from the elders, you have to pay New Year's greetings first."

Oh, are you ready?

Brother Hui stepped forward without hesitation and bowed deeply and respectfully, "The great-grandson wishes his great-grandfather a happy new year. I wish him a long life and good health."

The child bowed sincerely, and Old Man Tao accepted it with peace of mind. He took out a small package wrapped in red silk with a smile.

Brother Hui happily took it immediately, opened it and saw that it was a silver ingot weighing one or two taels.

"Thank you, great-grandfather." Brother Hui was even happier after receiving the red envelope.

He is not the king of a country now, he is just an ordinary child. He is happy to ask for red envelopes from his elders even if the red envelopes are just a few copper coins.

"Grandpa, you said that we will get red envelopes only if we wish you a happy new year, so do we get red envelopes if we wish you a happy new year?" Yadan asked casually.

It was Old Man Tao himself who asked them to call him "Grandpa". At first, they didn't dare to call him that, but after trying it a little, they got used to it.

"Yes, of course." Old man Tao smiled and shook the big purse in his hand.

Huh? Really?

Yadan waved to Dongzhu Shitou and the others, and they all gathered around and stood in unison to wish Old Man Tao a happy new year. "I wish you a long life and a happy smile."

Old man Tao laughed and waved to them to come forward one by one to get the red envelopes.

Originally, Old Man Tao had no concept of status. He did not try to curry favor with officials or powerful people, nor did he try to get close to wealthy people. This was even more true when he was with Mu Yingbao.

After spending so much time with these juniors, I have long regarded them as my own descendants.

Dongzhu and the others saw that the red envelopes they received seemed to be the same size as Hui's. They opened them in disbelief and found that they were indeed the same silver ingots they had received since childhood.

Everyone was deeply touched, as the old man treated them as his own juniors.

Mu Yingbao and the others all stepped aside to fiddle with the small ingots in their hands, then stepped forward to greet him respectfully and wish him a happy new year.

He received the same small ingot, and Luo Yi also walked forward to pay his respects, after all, this person was considered an elder.

Brother Hui walked towards Mu Yingbao, but without the laughter as before. His little face was serious, he lifted the corner of his robe and walked in front of her.

"Son, you can't." Mu Yingbao wanted to get up and help. But Brother Hui stretched out his hands and pressed her knees and begged, "Mother, today is the first day of the new year, please let your son pass once. There are no outsiders here, and they won't tell anyone. If you don't let your son kneel, your son will feel uneasy." "Son, I know you are filial, but you know I don't like people kneeling to me." "Mu" Mother, your son will pay New Year's greetings once on the first day of the new year. Mother let your son pass, son

"I'll feel at ease." Brother Hui continued to plead.

Of course, he knew that the reason why his mother didn't let him go was because his status was now special, and the emperor could only kneel down to the sky and the earth to pay homage to the late emperor. However, he really wanted to leave.

"Silly son, don't do that anymore in the future." Mu Yingbao understood the child's feelings.

For him, this journey represented his caution, and her acceptance represented her recognition of this son.

"Mother, your son doesn't need to travel too far. Once a year is enough. Kneeling once can make your son feel at ease for a year." Brother Hui said very seriously.

If an outsider were present and heard this, he would think it was childish and funny.

But no one in the room found it funny, all were just moved.

The lady's devotion to him is definitely worth his kneeling!

Tao Qingyuan understood Brother Hui's feelings even more. He did not think much about the fact that Brother Hui only greeted him, an elder, with a simple bow without kneeling.

Some were just relieved that this child had a conscience and his granddaughter's efforts for him were not in vain. When Brother Hui saw that his mother didn't say anything else, he rubbed his palms together and kowtowed respectfully.

"A son wishes his mother a happy new year, wishing her beauty, good health and all her wishes come true.

"Good son, get up." Mu Yingbao helped the child up with tears in his eyes.

After Hui stood up, he tugged at his mother's sleeve shyly, "Mom, have you forgotten something?"

Mu Yingbao reached out and pinched the child's nose, then stood up, took out a large purse made of embroidered brocade with a big Chinese character "Fu" on it, and handed it to him.

"Ah, all for my sons?" When Brother Hui saw the big purse, he thought it was filled with red envelopes for everyone, just like his great-grandfather.

Mu Yingbao nodded, and Brother Hui quickly walked to the table, put the big purse on the table, untied the ribbon on the opening, looked inside, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Inside, there are packages of beautifully packaged snacks and candies!

"Thank you, mother." Brother Hui was very happy.

Because these were the first time he had seen the beautifully packaged snacks, and he had no idea when his mother had started secretly preparing them.

Yadan and the others looked at each other, then walked forward with a smile and wished Mu Yingbao a happy new year.

Originally, the New Year's greetings were supposed to be celebrated on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, but just now Brother Hui and Old Man Tao joked and did it earlier.

Mu Yingbao pointed to a jar in the corner and said, "Go get it yourself."

Huh? In the tank?

Dongzhu and the others rushed to the jar, lifted the lid and saw that there was indeed a jar full of large brocade bags inside.

Each of them held one in their arms, opened it and saw that it contained various snacks of the same kind as Brother Hui's.

"Thank you, ma'am." Dongzhu took the lead in shouting.

"If you don't want to sleep, just play for a while. I'll go into the house and take a nap." Mu Yingbao said hello to everyone and got up to go back to the house.

She had no reason at all, she just wanted to go back and write a reply letter...
