The mandarin ducks entered the mansion through the corner gate, and then quickened their pace back to the main house.When she arrived in the back room, she suddenly felt a burst of heat. She rubbed her frozen hands and looked intently. She saw Jinxiu and Xiaogui, one leaning against the beams in the room and the other lying on the table, both taking a nap with their eyes closed. .

Yuanyang coughed lightly, and after awakening the two of them, she smiled and said, "How dare you be lazy at this hour? Be careful, sir, come back and see."

It turned out that after Jinxiu recovered from her illness, Yuanyang begged Yuhuatian for grace to let Jinxiu stay in the main house and take care of the outside room together with Xiaogui.And during that time Yuhuatian was very talkative, Yuanyang said that there were not enough people serving in the house, and he agreed.

Xiaogui hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuanyang said yes, don't dare to make mistakes." Jinxiu smiled cleverly: "The left and right rooms are all our own people, so Xiaoxiao can see for a while, what can happen? "

Jinxiu always thought that the last time she was punished by Yuhuatian, it was Yuanyang and Xiaogui who rescued her.Therefore, I got closer to Xiaogui in my heart.Yuanyang approached, holding the coat she had just taken off with one hand, and gently patted her head with the other, saying: "Speaking is still so indiscriminate."

Jinxiu stuck out her tongue, and said again: "Sister, what delicious food did you eat when you went out? At this time of year, it must be quite lively outside, right?"

Yuanyang smiled and said, "There are only a few things left. See, you only think about eating and playing."

Xiaogui also met the mandarin ducks, and said, "Isn't it? Jinxiu is just a bratty girl."

Jinxiu was not convinced yet, she argued with Xiaogui, and then said softly to Yuanyang: "But our house is also strange. It's already the first month of the twelfth lunar month, and we haven't seen anyone handling the New Year's goods yet."

Xiaogui sneered and said, "I don't even know you are a yellow-haired girl. Ordinary people want to have a family reunion during the New Year. Our adults entered the palace at the age of five or six. Now, although there are other residences outside the palace, you are here In the mansion, besides a few adults from Xichang, have you seen anyone come to visit?" At the end, Xiaogui's voice became softer.However, his eyes were still somewhat bleak, and he probably remembered his own flaws.

Jinxiu choked for a moment, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.Yuanyang said sternly: "We can't blame the master behind his back. As for the age in the mansion, let alone adults have their own opinions, there are Director Cao, the nanny in charge of the inner courtyard, and steward Yang in the outer courtyard. We don't need to worry about it." ?”

Jinxiu and Xiaogui repeatedly praised each other, but they also knew that what they just said was too much.Xiaogui even exaggeratedly glanced outside, as if he was afraid of being overheard by others.

Later, the nurse in charge recruited them to buy anniversaries.Although Yuhuatian didn't order it, the people below started to deal with it.Cao Jing even said that this year is the first year since the establishment of the factory governor's mansion, and it must be done well.In less than ten days, everyone in the mansion received new clothes.

As for Papa Jin, he soon sent a message to Yuanyang, saying that he had found a house and would move there after the new year.Yuanyang let go of a concern.On the contrary, although the factory governor's mansion has a simple population, it is complicated to manage the affairs of the year, and the mandarin ducks are busy with the affairs of the main house, and they are tired enough.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the ancestors were supposed to be worshiped first, but Yuhuatian's situation is special, not to mention entering the palace when he was young, now he has no relatives around him, it is the ancestors who are always inseparable from the incense.There are no people with such poor eyesight up and down in this house.So that morning, Yuhuatian went to the palace to worship after having breakfast.

The street where the factory governor's mansion is located is full of residences of dignitaries.When Yuanyang sent Yu Huatian out, it happened that the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Shangshu Mansion on the opposite side also came out proudly.I saw that he was full of energy, and when he saw Yuhuatian, he gave him a rare red smile!Yuanyang knew that although the two prefectures were close, Yuhuatian had never met this Shangshu when he went out.Probably because the two have different political views, and the two hate each other, how can they enter the palace and early court together?Therefore, this Shangshu must have deliberately diverted the time.

Yu Huatian's face turned cold, but he curled his lips quickly, and stepped on the back of a servant to get into the carriage.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was obviously accustomed to Yu Huatian's expression, and he also raised his head high, quickly got into the carriage, and told the coachman to drive faster.However, it was Yuhuatian who got on the carriage first, the road was narrow and the sky was dark, so Yuhuatian's carriage drove slowly ahead, and he had to follow Yuhuatian's carriage.

The minister left, and the people in his mansion came out again to exchange couplets and paste peach charms... How lively!On the other hand, the factory governor's mansion is deserted.Yuanyang suddenly understood why the Minister of the Ministry of War smiled at Yuhuatian. He must have just paid homage to his ancestors in the morning. Seeing the tablets of his ancestors and his children early in the morning, he immediately wanted to respond to Yuhuatian, so he deliberately picked the time when Yuhuatian left the mansion and set off!

After sending Yuhuatian away, Yuanyang went back to the house and lay down for a while.After all, the New Year holidays are the masters' business.They are servants, they are not old, they can't go home to reunite with their relatives, and they are busier than usual.The only good thing is that at the end of this year, the master will send them a red envelope.

Yuanyang guessed how much Yuhuatian would reward everyone, and lay down in a daze for a while before getting up.

Fresh things were bought inside and outside the factory governor's mansion, and the nanny in charge really made the factory governor's mansion look good.However, because the atmosphere in the main house was too depressing, the bright red "Fu" characters could not withstand the killing spirit.Because Yuhuatian had a palace banquet after the pilgrimage in the palace, Yuanyang and Jinxiu wanted to go for a walk in the backyard. When they got to the backyard, they saw a few servants' children playing together in a corner.

Hearing a crackling sound from a distance, Jinxiu said happily, "Which family is this kid playing with cannons?"

It is not that the factory governor's mansion does not allow servants to bring children in, especially some couples who work in the factory governor's mansion.But not much.That one, two, three, a total of three children saw the couple, quickly hid the unused cannons behind them, and looked at the two timidly.

The older child said to the couple: "We only played with a cannon. Don't punish us, we just don't play."

The oldest child was only six years old, but he spoke clearly.Yuanyang asked whose children they were.It turned out that the child who spoke belonged to Wang Momo's family, and the other two were biological brothers, and they were the children of a couple in the mansion.Because their parents and elders still have to work in the factory governor's mansion during the Chinese New Year, and because of various reasons, there is no one to take care of the children at home, so they simply brought the children to the mansion.

Yuanyang heard that the child belonged to Wang Momo's family, so she didn't intend to blame her at first, but now she is more considerate.

Yuanyang only said: "This yard is not a place to fire cannons. Why don't you go to a place where you won't disturb people."

After Jinxiu heard this, she volunteered to take the children away, Yuanyang saw that her eyes were bright, it was clear that she wanted to play too.But thinking that Jinxiu is now 13 years old, it is a good age to play.Not to mention her, even the young ladies in the mansion were playful, but they were just young ladies, so naturally they couldn't let go of their modesty to play.Yuanyang thought that it would be some time before Yuhuatian came back, not to mention that Jinxiu had already done all the work, so she asked Jinxiu to take them to play elsewhere.

Jinxiu asked Yuanyang again if he would go, Yuanyang smiled and shook his head—let's say that he has been a human in two lives. In the previous life, he wasted two decades in Rongguo Mansion, and now he has experienced many things. His mentality is already different. How can there be any fun?

What's more, she was also afraid that Yu Huatian would come back early, and no one would be found by then, and she was afraid that innocent people would be hurt.

Jinxiu went to play with those children, Yuanyang felt chilly even when she was outside, so she went back to the main house immediately.

Not long after Yuanyang returned to the main house, she only heard movement outside, and went out to see that it was Yuhuatian who had returned.Ma Jinliang followed behind.Yuanyang felt strange, but smiled and saluted: "I have seen you, sir."

As he spoke, he untied the snow-white fox fur worn by Yuhuatian and hung it on the shelf.Yu Huatian said indifferently: "Today, the Jinliang Association is in the mansion, and I will give orders to do everything."

Yuanyang wondered in his heart, Mr. Ma doesn't have any family members of his own?Want to watch the new year with the factory supervisor?But she naturally didn't show her thoughts, and she was used to dealing with these things, so she answered and went out.Ma Jinliang who was at the side was a little surprised, maybe the governor himself didn't realize that the words and deeds between him and this maid seemed to be relatives who had been with each other for many years.He quickly shook his head, seeing that the governor was still aloof, looking down on all living beings, he quickly drove out that terrible thought.

After a while, the mandarin duck came back, and brought the freshly brewed tea.

After sitting for a while, a sweet voice sounded, saying that the guest room for Ma Jinliang was ready.Yuhuatian asked Ma Jinliang to go down and change into regular clothes.It turned out that after Ma Jinliang and Yu Huatian left the palace, they decided to stay in the factory governor's mansion to watch the year. Then, Ma Jinliang and Yu Huatian went back to the mansion together, and another servant went to Ma's house to get clothes.

When sending Ma Jinliang out, Yuanyang saw an unfamiliar woman standing at the door.However, her delicate appearance and decent manners made Yuanyang's eyes shine.She nodded slightly to Yuanyang and led Ma Jinliang to the guest room, only then did Yuanyang close the door and turn around to enter the room.

As usual, she stepped forward to rub Yuhuatian's shoulders.Because Yuhuatian was very busy some time ago, whenever he had nothing to do, Yuanyang would rub his shoulders for him—or, since he woke up from the nightmare that day, he seemed to have developed such a habit.

Because Ma Jinliang seemed to take a long time to change clothes, and when he came back, it was already dark, and the two of them did not talk about political affairs, but only had dinner in the front hall.The New Year's Eve banquet was organized in a decent way, but two big men, and two big men like Shangfeng and junior, had dinner together, it was really boring.

The New Year's Eve banquet is almost the same as usual, and it is eaten early.The unusual thing is that since they started eating, the Shangshu Mansion opposite started to set off fireworks.Except for a few servants serving in the lobby, the maids and servants outside are all watching.Yu Huatian frowned and said, "Shangshu's place is very noisy."

As he spoke, he felt that he had lost his appetite.Although Ma Jinliang wanted to say that the Chinese New Year is like this, but since Yuhuatian had put down his chopsticks, he couldn't eat anymore.When mentioning the Minister of the Ministry of War, the two talked about some irrelevant court affairs.After the servants cleaned up the dishes, the two planned to go to the study to discuss political affairs.

It was getting dark too early, and in the past there was a special servant carrying the lantern at the front, but today Yuhuatian seemed to be a little abnormal, so he waved his hand slightly to make the servant retreat.It's just a matter of mandarin ducks, the servant doesn't carry the lantern anymore, so she, the servant girl who hasn't been disliked by the governor, has to carry it.

From the lobby all the way to the study, passing through those corridors and corridors, you can hear the sound of fireworks blooming every moment and every minute.There wasn't even a moment's pause.Although those fireworks are ordinary, they should not be expensive, but they are very festive and lively.It seems that the sound of fireworks can also bring laughter in the Shangshu Mansion.

Because the factory governor's mansion never set up fireworks, Yuanyang couldn't help but glance at the fiery trees and silver flowers while walking on the road.

After exiting the corridor, you have to pass through a section of snow-covered trail.I don't know who hasn't cleaned it up, left a puddle of water down, and now it's frozen, Yuanyang only felt his feet slipping, and the lantern in his hand was about to fly out, Yuanyang barely grabbed the tail of the lantern handle, But because of this retraction, all the candle oil in the lantern was spilled out!

The hot oil flew towards Yuanyang's face, Yuanyang couldn't avoid it and closed his eyes in fear, suddenly felt a numbness in his legs, and sat down on the ground.As for the hot oil, it flew over her head and splashed all on the snow, which instantly became cold.Yuanyang sat on the ground and looked up to see Yuhuatian looking down at her indifferently: "What's so interesting about such ordinary fireworks? I have no eyesight. Hmph."

Yuhuatian was originally a person who didn't show his emotions, but at this moment, Yuanyang immediately sensed his emotions.She stood up quickly, blessed her body slightly, and said: "My servant, thank you sir." Yuanyang thanked Yu Huatian for his help just now, and said, "My servant also thinks that fireworks are the most common and not good-looking."
