Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

After Yang Jiming was arranged to take an extended vacation, he simply stayed in Chenxiangyuan to study and prepare for the exam, so that he could spend more time with his wife.

Soon, it will be New Year's Eve.

Shang Jiayan directed his servants to post Spring Festival couplets and blessings, and then personally counted the New Year's goods, busy before and after, very busy.

This is the first New Year after he got married, and Shang Jiayan is looking forward to it.

According to the usual practice, the New Year's Eve dinner is shared by everyone at Fuxitang, and it is the same this year.

Seeing that it was almost time to go to Fuxitang, Shang Jiayan went to the small study and called Yang Jiming back to the main room to change clothes.

Huaian took out all the new clothes that the embroidery house sent in the morning, only two sets of crimson clothes of the same style looked more festive, so Shang Jiayan chose these two sets.

After the two of them changed their clothes, Yang Jiming asked, "What about the new clothes made of brocade before? Don't you wear them during the Chinese New Year?"

Shang Jiayan tidied up the skirts for him, "The brocade has been made into spring clothes, which is not suitable for wearing now. In addition, the New Year's Eve dinner is also a reunion dinner, so it is more festive to dress brightly for the New Year."

"understood."

Shang Jiayan checked the clothes and accessories of the two of them one last time, and said, "Okay, let's go, don't be late."

When the two arrived at Fuxitang, except for the five masters, everyone else had already arrived.

Shang Jiayan's heart skipped a beat, and after saluting, he apologized and said that they were late.

The old lady was dressed in crimson red clothes, and even the forehead on her head was crimson red.

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "It's not too late, they came too early. Ji Ming, Ji Ming's daughter-in-law, you come forward."

"Yes." The two stepped forward and saluted the old matriarch again.

The old lady laughed loudly and said to the others: "Look at these two children, do they have a tacit understanding with me? Let's stay together, who dares to say that they are not my own grandchildren?"

The crowd agrees.

The old lady asked Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan to sit on the soft couch beside her, but the servant girl from Fuxi Hall brought two brocade sticks, and Shang Jiayan pulled Yang Jiming to sit on the brocade stick at the old lady's feet .

Shang Jiayan said: "It is more convenient to listen to the teachings of the old lady."

The old lady nodded slightly, and said: "You are a good boy, it is his blessing that Ji Ming can marry you, and it is also the blessing of our old Yang family."

"The old lady is serious. It is my blessing to be able to marry my husband and be the old lady's grandson." Shang Jiayan heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the old lady understands the matter of clothes, and there is a meaning of supporting him .

The old matriarch laughed happily twice, and asked the waiters around him: "What time is it now?"

"Back to the old matriarch, it's just three o'clock."

The old lady said: "Go and invite the gentlemen to come over and prepare for the banquet."

"Yes."

The old lady smiled and said to everyone: "This New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten together by the whole family. I am very happy that the fourth family will come back this year."

The fourth madam hurriedly said: "We are also looking forward to returning to honor our mother sooner. The fourth master will return to Beijing this time to report on his duties and keep him. As long as he fills up the vacancy in Beijing, he can stay."

The old lady said: "The fourth child has been released from Yangzhou to Suzhou for many years, so he should stay in Beijing."

The fourth lady said, "I hope so."

Shang Jiayan lowered his head and said in his heart: Sure enough, it's still about fourth uncle.

Fifth Madam said: "Isn't our in-law's master the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? Jiayan, have you heard about the fourth master?"

The second lady sneered and said, "Jiayan has been living with Ji Ming since he got married. How can he know about his fourth uncle? Fifth brother and sister, you are asking a question."

The smile on the fifth lady's face froze for a moment, "Second sister-in-law was joking, I just casually asked Jiayan if he had heard what his in-laws said, why is there a problem?"

The second wife sneered, turned her eyes to the eldest lady who was watching the joke, and said, "Sister-in-law, in the final analysis, Jiayan is your daughter-in-law, you can judge for yourself, whether there is something wrong with what the fifth sibling said."

The eldest lady said: "The fifth sibling just said that casually, so why do you hold on to it?"

The second lady smiled and said: "Come on, it's all my fault. Anyway, it's not that my daughter-in-law is being embarrassed, and it's not that my man needs to use the relationship of his in-laws to seek an official position."

This is so straightforward, the old lady can't help but say with a livid face: "Enough, today is New Year's Eve, everyone should say a few words. Everyone is an elder, talking nonsense in front of the younger generation language, what kind of words!"

Shang Jiayan said softly: "Old Madam, don't be upset. Fourth Uncle has achievements in the local government and has not made any major mistakes. As long as Fourth Uncle operates, it should not be a big problem."

The old lady asked, "Are you serious?"

Shang Jiayan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, "I don't understand these big things, but I think so."

The old matriarch smiled happily, looked at him with relief and said, "My good boy, you are the lucky star of our old Yang family."

The fourth lady was all smiles, and the expressions of the other four ladies were different.

Yang Jiming held Shang Jiayan's hand and squeezed it, his eyes showed a bit of worry.

Shang Jiayan returned Yang Jiming with a comforting smile.

He just said some stereotypes and didn't promise anything.In fact, as long as Yang Zhenghong goes to work and stays in the capital to be a capital official, it is really not a big problem.

After Yang Zhengyi and others came over, the old lady gave way to the table.

This time, Yang Chen didn't yell at Yang Jiming again, he dared not speak out.

This New Year's Eve dinner, at least on the surface, was eaten harmoniously and happily.

After the meal, everyone watched the year together.

Yang Jiming led Shang Jiayan closer to a brazier, and whispered to him, "If you're tired or sleepy, rest on me."

"It's not good for the whole family to watch the new year together."

"It's okay, the old lady will be sleepy in a while, and there are not many who actually keep the old age."

Shang Jiayan glanced around, and sure enough, he saw that several ladies were dozing off, and the old lady was about to fall asleep.

Yang Jiming wrapped Shang Jiayan into his arms, and then wrapped the two of them with his fur coat.

Immediately, Shang Jiayan felt his body warm and his heart even warmer.

Peng Kejing glanced around calmly, saw the young lady and young master Sun surrounded by maids, and Shang Jiayan who was embraced by Yang Jiming, and then looked around her, the two maids were quiet Standing beside him, Yang Zhongming indifferently closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Peng Kejing shrank her body in the cold, and her heart became even colder.

Yang Guang moved closer to Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan, and said to Shang Jiayan, "Did the third sister-in-law keep the old age at home before?"

"I used to watch the year, but I would fall asleep every time, and my mother wouldn't let anyone wake me up."

"The third sister-in-law will definitely succeed in keeping the year old this year, and the third brother is here."

Yang Jiming straightened the fur cloak covering the two of them, gave Yang Guang a sideways look, and said angrily, "You're a little uncle, don't come near your sister-in-law."

Yang Guang squinted at him and continued talking to Shang Jiayan. "Sister-in-law three, listen to what my third brother said, does he deserve a beating?"

"Fourth brother is right, your third brother just deserves a beating." Shang Jiayan chuckled, and stretched out a hand from his hair cloak to grab Yang Jiming's ear.

"It hurts, it hurts, daughter-in-law."

"You just need to clean up." Shang Jiayan let go and rubbed his ears twice.

Puff!Yang Guang was smiling blatantly beside him.

Shang Jiayan blushed and said, "Let the fourth brother see the joke."

Before Yang Guang could speak, another voice appeared next to him. "Third sister-in-law is afraid of being laughed at, so don't do things that will make people laugh."

Both Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan lowered their faces.Yang Guang glanced at Yang Chen disdainfully, creaked his fingers, and said, "It seems that you don't think you have been beaten enough. Don't worry, I am different from the third brother. I have good skills in beating people, so I can't tell you from the outside." Get hurt."

Yang Chen snorted, and didn't speak again.

Yang Guang said to Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan: "Don't talk to him."

Shang Jiayan sighed lightly. When he first got married, he would pay attention in front of others, but then he became like this without knowing it.In front of the whole family and servants, he was so close to Yang Jiming.

Yang Guang said: "It's too boring to wait for the New Year, let's play dice."

Yang Boying said: "The old lady doesn't like dice, so let's play with drinking orders."

So, the brothers all gathered together, even Yang Chen shyly moved over.

Shang Jiayan came out of Yang Jiming's arms and said to him: "You are playing with everyone, I'm going to talk to my second sister-in-law for a while."

"it is good."

Shang Jiayan walked up to Peng Kejing and sat down, "Second sister-in-law, the brothers are playing with drinking orders, let's talk quietly with my sister-in-law."

Peng Kejing nodded with a slight smile, really envious of him.

"What do younger brothers and sisters do to pass the time?"

"I'm reading a book, where's the second sister-in-law?"

"Same as you." Peng Kejing smiled lightly.

After starting the topic, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law chatted, and the smile on Peng Kejing's face became more.

Yang Jiming turned his head and glanced at Shang Jiayan. In the gap of this glance, he lost. He picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Yang Guang applauded from the side, and said, "Third brother is refreshing! But you have lost too much. Could it be that you have a few more drinks for the sake of being aboveboard? I want to expose your intentions to the third sister-in-law."

"You are enough." Yang Jiming glanced at Shang Jiayan cautiously.

Yang Guang laughed out loud, and the other brothers couldn't help laughing too.

Shang Jiayan and Peng Kejing couldn't help looking towards them.

Peng Kejing said: "I don't know what they are talking about, are they smiling so happily?" Even Yang Zhongming, who had always been cold to her, raised his lips slightly.

Shang Jiayan said helplessly: "Probably Yang Jiming is being stupid again."

Peng Kejing hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Sister and sister, let me ask something that shouldn't be asked, have you and your third brother always been this close in front of outsiders?"

"Be careful in front of outsiders, but it's easy to be careless in the mansion." Shang Jiayan said a little embarrassed, as if everyone in the Hou's mansion was used to them, and even the old lady turned a blind eye to them Close one eye.Peng Kejing covered her with a handkerchief and coughed lightly twice.

"Did the second sister-in-law catch a cold? Does it matter?"

"It's okay, don't say anything. It's a big Chinese New Year, it's unlucky." Peng Kejing looked at Shang Jiayan pleadingly.

Shang Jiayan looked at her worriedly, "Second sister-in-law, don't be careless."

"Don't worry, I know it well. Brother and sister, thank you. I really didn't expect that after I married into Wu Muhou's mansion, it was you who gave me the greatest care."

"Second sister-in-law, we are one family, so we don't need to talk to each other. I think you seem to have lost weight again, and your complexion is not very good. Second sister-in-law, take care of your health."

Peng Kejing sighed softly, "I don't have much appetite recently, I don't eat much, and I don't have much energy."

Shang Jiayan frowned slightly, "I still need to invite the doctor to take a look."

"I know about my own body. There is nothing wrong with it. It's probably caused by my worrying too much these days. I'll talk about it after the first or second day of the new year."

Shang Jiayan nodded, "If you need my help, the second sister-in-law just ask."

"Thank you..." Peng Kejing hesitated for a few seconds, and then called his name directly. "Good words."
