"Do it yourself? Brother, if you let me roast such good meat, wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Ji Pingting's pretty face immediately wrinkled into a bun when she heard this.

Ji Linglan flicked her forehead amusedly, and said, "Little slacker, you know how to eat ready-made ones. I taught you how to make them. If you can't eat them after making them, then you will be hungry tonight."

Ji Xinwu was very interested, and said: "I have never eaten this barbecue, let alone cooked it, and I want to try it today. Ah Lan, tell me, what should I do?"

"Alan, I'll come too, and I'll let you taste my cooking." Fu Nanling was the first to pick up a plate of meat and walked to the stove.

Seeing this, everyone responded one after another. They had never done these things before, and they all thought it was very new, and they were willing to try it.

Ji Linglan picked up the meat skewers on the plate, put them on the stove, and said, "Is this meat roasted well? Apart from marinating, the most important thing is the heat..."

While talking, Ji Linglan demonstrated, and the others followed suit, but it soon became apparent who was talented and who was really a killer in the kitchen.

"Oh, my meat is mushy..."

"Oh, I forgot to brush the sauce..."

"It's caught, my meat is on a skewer..."

Although everyone was in a hurry and the taste of the meat skewers was uneven, it had to be said that this was the most memorable New Year they had, so that it was so vivid and vivid when they thought about it many years later.

Ji Pingting secretly took Ji Linglan's grilled meat skewers, distributed them to Ji Xintang and the three of them, and said in a low voice, "This is grilled by my brother, you haven't eaten it before, try it quickly, I guarantee you will still want to eat it. "

How could Ji Pingting's petty actions deceive everyone's eyes, everyone just smiled and didn't say much, Ji Linglan wasted food, and also took over the work of the next barbecue. Waiting by the oven with the plate, Qi Qi drooled while staring at the barbecue on it, looked at each other after hearing the sound, couldn't help but chuckled, and the relationship between them became much closer.

Listening to the shadow of the Xueyuan gate, Ji Qing and Ji Hong have been standing here for a long time, watching the people inside laughing and making noise, listening to them talking and singing loudly, can't help but follow along Raise the corners of your lips.

Smelling the smell of meat wafting from the yard, Ji Hong couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Master, either we go in, or we go back home, you've been standing here for more than half an hour."

Ji Qing turned his head to look at Ji Hong, and said angrily, "Look at your potential, the Duke's mansion is short of your two bites of meat?"

"No, master, have you ever eaten this barbecue? It was made by Alan himself. Look at their eagerly waiting looks, is it comparable to ordinary meat?" Ji Hong couldn't help complaining in a low voice. Said: "Obviously I want to come, but I have to put on airs, I really ask for it."

Ji Qing kicked Ji Hong angrily, but he dodged it lightly.

Ji Qing said angrily: "Go back to the house."

"You really don't want to go?" Ji Hong looked at the lively scene inside and couldn't help asking.

"They're all juniors, why should I follow the past." After Ji Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Ji Hong couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Then why are you here? It will take more than half an hour to stop."

Ji Qing's face became hot, and he became angry from embarrassment: "There are so many nonsense, I still haven't kept up."

As soon as the two of them walked out of the yard, they heard footsteps behind them, and turned their heads to see that it was Ji Mingqiu.Holding a food box in his hand, he walked quickly to Ji Qing, and said respectfully: "My son has met his father."

Ji Qing coughed twice, and explained with some embarrassment: "I just went to work, and I happened to pass by, so I came in to have a look."

"Father, this is the barbecue made by Alan, you can take it home and taste it." Ji Mingqiu handed the food box to Ji Hong, and then said: "There is also the hot pot made by Alan, which has been sent to the Duke's mansion before." , you can eat it when you go back."

Ji Qing nodded, and said: "You guys are interested. As for those children... Let them stay overnight at the Princess Mansion today."

Ji Mingqiu responded and said with a smile: "Yes, father."

"Well. I'll go back first if I have something to do, so you don't have to send it away." After Ji Qing finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Ji Qing's back, Ji Hong smiled helplessly, greeted Ji Mingqiu, and chased after him in two or three steps.

"Master, you can enjoy family happiness with them, but you have to pretend not to care. You said you are tired all day long?"

Ji Qing paused, sighed and said, "If I just appeared, do you think they can still make trouble?"

Ji Hong complained softly: "You didn't do this yourself."

"You!" Ji Qing snorted coldly, snatched the food box from Ji Hong's hand, and strode out.

Ji Hong curled his lips and hurriedly followed.

Seeing Ji Mingqiu coming back, Princess Yaohua asked in a low voice: "The old man is gone?"

Ji Mingqiu nodded and said, "Let's go."

Princess Yaohua couldn't laugh or cry and said: "This is obviously here, but you are standing at the door of your house peeking for more than half an hour. What do you think the old man is singing?"

Ji Mingqiu smiled helplessly, and said: "Father is used to being serious, and wants to blend in with us, but he doesn't know how to do it, take it slowly."

Princess Yaohua looked at the people who were having fun, and raised the corners of her mouth, saying: "In the past, celebrating the New Year was boring, as if I was completing a task. This year's New Year, because of A Lan's arrival, looks very different, lively, Warm, happy, and more youthful."

Ji Mingqiu took Princess Yaohua into his arms, looked at the frolicking crowd, and said in a warm voice: "Well, the children are having a great time."

Princess Yaohua leaned into Ji Mingqiu's arms and said, "Aqiu, I'm very glad to have found Alan. I feel that my life is complete."

"En." Ji Mingqiu responded, "I'm also very lucky."

Looking at Ji Linglan and Fu Nanling in the crowd, Princess Yaohua suddenly turned around, broke free from Ji Mingqiu's embrace, and said, "Aqiu, let's go back to the yard, I have something to tell you."

Ji Mingqiu was taken aback for a moment, and then he responded, letting Princess Yaohua lead him out of Tingxue Garden.

Ji Linglan put the last few skewers of barbecue meat in Fu Nanling's plate, and said loudly: "Okay, that's the end of the barbecue, let's go in and eat hot pot now."

Although everyone was still a little unfulfilled, but thinking of the hot pot they were looking forward to later, they became more excited and walked towards the dining room one after another.

"Where are the parents?" Ji Linglan searched around, but she didn't see Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu, so she asked with some doubts.

Fu Nanling replied while eating: "I saw them leaving the yard just now. Why don't you ask Gao Wei to look for them?"

Ji Pingting waved her hand and said as usual: "Brother, Mom and Dad must have returned to the yard, let's not bother, so as not to get Dad to complain."

Ji Linglan was startled for a moment, but then she understood, and said, "Success, let's go in too."

After simmering the chicken soup all afternoon, "gudu gudu" tumbling, the hot fragrance filled the room, dispelling the cold air from everyone's body, and warming my heart.

Ji Xinwu was the first to ask: "Alan, it smells so good. Is this the hot pot you mentioned?"

Without their elders, they were more casual. They found their seats and sat down, looking eagerly at the ingredients on the table.

"Yes, cousin, if you want hot pot, you have to eat spicy pot, it's so delicious!" Ji Pingting strongly recommended it while swallowing her saliva.

Ji Linglan said with a smile: "There are no elders here, so you don't have to be restrained. You can eat whatever you want and as much as you want."

"Come on, follow the orders of the county king." Ji Pingting impatiently put mutton in the spicy pot.

Ji Linglan also stood up and put the meat in the white pot, saying: "When the meat is cooked, everyone can eat it with the seasoning in the bowl in front of us."

Li Xinwen and the others had never eaten hot pot, so Ji Linglan told them this.

Everyone eagerly waited for the pot to open, watching the pieces of meat rolling up could not help swallowing their saliva, until Ji Linglan said that it was ready to eat, then impatiently moved their chopsticks.

"Delicious, delicious." Ji Xinwu couldn't help but praised again and again: "Alan, I didn't like to eat mutton before, and I thought it was very smelly. But today when I'm here with you, whether it's barbecue or hot pot, the mutton suddenly doesn't smell good. Yes, it's still delicious."

"Cousin thinks it's delicious, so eat more."

"Yeah, so spicy, but so enjoyable!"

Everyone ate happily, and finally slowed down after half an hour.

Ji Linglan looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has eaten enough, let's play a game."

When Ji Pingting heard this, she suddenly regained her spirits, and quickly asked, "Brother, what game?"

"The game is called 'Who is the Bad Guy'." Ji Linglan turned to look at Li Xiangwan, and said, "Cousin, where is the thing I asked you to write?"

Li Xiangwan got up and said, "It's in the study, I'll get it."

Ji Linglan responded, and continued: "The game is very simple. Later, my cousin will give each of you a piece of paper with writing on it. Only one of them is different from others. Our task is to describe the words written on the paper. Words, to find out who is different from everyone else, that is, find out the "bad guy". Find out one person in each round, if you find the wrong person, the person pointed out will be eliminated, and the game will continue; if you find the right one, the game will continue. It's over. Do you understand?"

This was originally a game of 'who is undercover', Ji Linglan felt that 'undercover' was difficult to explain, and it was too sensitive to say 'careful work', so he could only use 'bad guys' instead.

"Brother, does elimination mean that you can no longer participate in the game?"

"Yes, you can only watch others play until the end of the game."

Fu Nanling asked with interest: "If you can't find them, will the 'bad guys' win?"

"That's right. When there are two players left in each round and haven't found the 'bad guy', the game is over, and the 'bad guy' wins."

"This game is new, we have never played it before." Li Xinwen was eager to try.

"My brother's idea is of course fresh. I can't wait, I want to be a 'bad guy', hehe."

While everyone was talking, Li Xiangwan walked in from the outside, holding red paper in his hand, which was cut into three centimeter squares.

Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Because this is written by my cousin, he knows the answer, so he can't participate, so he can only help us host the game."

Li Xiangwan said helplessly: "If I knew this, I asked Gauss to write it."

Li Xiangwan resignedly distributed the paper in his hand to everyone.

"Don't let others see the words on your paper." Seeing that everyone had finished reading the words in their hands, Ji Linglan continued: "There is another rule, that is, the words on the note cannot be included in the description, and the words on the note will be written by the author." Let me try it out."

Ji Linglan looked at the words on the note, which said green vegetables, thought for a while and said, "This is an edible thing. The next one is A Ling, and then go down in order."

Fu Nanling thought for a while and said, "We just ate."

It was Ji Xinwu's turn next, he frowned slightly and said, "I don't like this food."

Ji Xinwen heard what Ji Xinwu said, and said, "I like to eat this."

After listening to Ji Xinwen's words, Ji Xinwu's eyes lit up, and he said immediately, "Brother, we must be the same."

Ji Pingting was displeased when she heard this, and said, "Hey, cousin, you can't collude confessions. Brother said that this is against the rules of the game and you will be eliminated."

"Yeah, no more, no more." Ji Xinwu nodded hastily, fearing that he would be eliminated for violating the rules.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Ji Xintang smiled and said, "It's green."

Seeing that it was her turn, Ji Xinyue thought for a while and said, "There are also yellow ones."

Ji Xinrong looked at the two of them, and said, "It...has leaves."

Liu Xi quickly said, "It can be eaten raw."

Seeing that it was his turn, Gauss said with a wry smile, "I've already said what I can think of, what should I do?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ji Linglan reminded with a smile: "Describe its shape, color, taste, you can. Brother Gao, think about it carefully."

Gauss frowned and thought for a while, then said excitedly, "It was grown in the field."

Ji Pingting was the last one, and she also frowned, saying, "Brother, next time I don't want to be the last one, it's too hard to imagine."

Ji Linglan responded helplessly, and said, "Success, then we have to finish this round first."

"It...it...can be eaten in hot pot, hehe." Ji Pingting finally figured it out after thinking for a long time, and laughed 'hehe' twice.

Li Xiangwan saw that the round was over, and said with a smile: "Okay, now you start to identify the suspects. Who is the 'bad guy'? This time, start with Tinger."

Ji Pingting looked around excitedly, and said, "I think it's Cousin Xinyue."

When Ji Xinyue heard this, she quickly said, "I'm not, cousin, I'm the same as you."

"No, no, I don't have any yellow ones."

Seeing this, Li Xiangwan continued, "Okay, Ting'er points to Miss Xinyue, how about you, Gauss?"

Gauss looked around, scratched his head and said, "Then I refer to the princess, this thing is yellow."

Ji Pingting waved her hands frequently and said, "It's not me, you are wrong."

Li Xiangwan smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Xinyue has one vote, Ting'er has one vote, and now it's Liu Xi's turn."

Liu Xi looked at Ji Xinyue and Ji Xintang, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I mean Miss Xintang."

Ji Xintang pointed to himself and said, "No, I'm not a 'bad person', you are wrong."

Next, the five members of Ji's family also pointed out what they thought was the murderer.

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Xintang and Ji Pingting, and said, "I think it should be between the two of you. Ah Lan, who do you choose?"

"You decide for yourself. Now Ting'er has three votes and Xintang has two votes."

Fu Nanling thought for a while, and said: "Then I will choose Xintang, and let Alan do the embarrassing things."

Ji Linglan smiled helplessly, and said, "I also choose Xintang."

Seeing this, Li Xiangwan smiled and said, "Okay, now Miss Xintang has four votes, the highest number of votes, so is the 'bad guy' really her?"

Li Xiangwan deliberately put on a pass and paused for a long while.

Ji Pingting urged: "Brother Li, tell me, is the game going to continue or is it over?"

"The 'bad guy' has been found, game over."

Everyone looked at Ji Xintang and said, "It's really Miss Xintang."

Ji Xintang opened the note in his hand, said with a wry smile, "Since Sister Xinyue said it was also yellow, I knew I was a 'bad guy'."

Everyone looked at Ji Xintang's note, which had the word 'leek' written on it.

Everyone was stunned, and Ji Pingting said angrily, "Oh, I guessed wrong. Brother, aren't vegetables green? Why do you guess Xintang?"

Ji Pingting doesn't have much contact with it, so it's not surprising that she doesn't understand this kind of thing.

Ji Linglan smiled and explained: "Green vegetables are a general term, not all green, but also yellow and purple, such as day lily, such as eggplant. The reason why I guess Xintang is because after Xinyue finished speaking, she There was a moment of doubt on his expression, and he looked at the note again."

"So that's the case. Ah Lan, your observation is really sharp, I learned it. Come on, let's do another round." Ji Xinwu said eagerly.

"Yes yes yes, one more round, I will definitely guess it right." Ji Pingting also echoed.

Seeing this, Li Xiangwan sent notes to everyone, and a new round of the game began.

While everyone was laughing, Princess Yaohua and Ji Mingqiu were talking in the room.

"Yao'er, you said that Alan...Alan has a habit of breaking sleeves?" Ji Mingqiu frowned tightly.

"What is the addiction of broken sleeves? Alan just likes men." Seeing Ji Mingqiu frowning, Princess Yaohua said dissatisfiedly: "Ji Mingqiu, I found Alan with great difficulty. How dare you be dissatisfied with him? I will make peace with you!"

Ji Mingqiu's face changed when he heard that, and said: "Yao'er, we have been married for nearly 20 years, how can you say the words of reconciliation so easily."

There was a moment of guilt on Princess Yaohua's face, and then she said with a strong attitude: "Alan was taken away at the age of five. After more than ten years of hard life, we are ashamed of him. If we abandon him because of this, Then how are we worthy of being parents.”

"Yao'er, I understand what you are thinking. I have no intention of abandoning Alan. There are also many nobles who raise male favorites, so it does not affect getting married and having children."

"Ji Mingqiu, I really didn't expect to hear such words from you." Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Mingqiu disappointedly, and asked: "If I am not a princess, and if A Lan is not found, are you also because of Want to carry on the family line and marry someone else?"

Seeing this, Ji Mingqiu panicked, and stepped forward to hug Princess Yaohua, but she hid her. He quickly explained: "Yao'er, I have absolutely no intention of doing this, even if you are not a princess, even if Ah Lan is not If I find it, I will never marry another man!"

Princess Yaohua retreated one after another, avoiding Ji Mingqiu's touch, and asked: "Then what do you mean by what you said just now? Ji Mingqiu, you don't understand the principle of 'Do not do to others what you don't want to be done to others'? Since you have never I thought about it, why did you blurt out that kind of words? Where did you put Ah Lan?"

Ji Mingqiu, who has always been clumsy and clumsy, didn't know how to explain the continuous questioning. He simply stepped forward, ignoring Princess Yaohua's struggle and hugged her tightly, saying: "Yaoer, you don't know how I have treated you for so many years? It was you who wanted my life, and I would give it to you without hesitation, but now you come to question me, you know how much pain I feel in my heart."

Princess Yaohua is naturally aware of Ji Mingqiu's feelings for her, and that's why she dared to threaten him unscrupulously with He Li, but when she thought of Ji Linglan, Princess Yaohua's soft heart hardened again, and she said: "Ji Mingqiu, I I grew up with your childhood sweetheart, and we have been husband and wife for nearly 20 years, but the mother-child relationship between me and A Lan is only a few short years. If I had to choose between you and A Lan, I’m sorry, I would Choose Ah Lan, I will not allow anyone to hurt him."

Although he knew why Princess Yaohua was like this, Ji Mingqiu was still very sad in his heart, he held Princess Yaohua's arm tightly, and said: "I agree, I will answer whatever you say, but don't talk about reconciliation in the future, okay? "

With the expected answer, Princess Yaohua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Are you going to embarrass Ah Lan because of this?"

Ji Mingqiu said helplessly: "As long as Yao'er doesn't make up with me, I will say anything."

Princess Yaohua hugged Ji Mingqiu back, and said: "Aqiu, I'm sorry to make you sad."

Ji Mingqiu bent down and hugged Princess Yaohua, causing her to exclaim, "Aqiu, what are you doing?"

Ji Mingqiu said seriously: "Since you can't force Ah Lan, then let's have another one to carry on the family line of our Ji family."

Princess Yaohua was stunned. Before finding Ji Linglan, although the two of them would have intercourse, Princess Yaohua would drink the soup every time afterwards. She didn't want to conceive and have children. I no longer have the courage and patience to continue searching.Now the long-lost child has been found, but he likes men, so he is destined not to be passed on to future generations. Although Princess Yaohua supports Ji Linglan, she has to admit that she is somewhat indebted to Ji Mingqiu.If there is another one, it may be able to make up for this shortcoming, which is also a way.

While Princess Yaohua was thinking, she had already been put on the bed by Ji Mingqiu, and said: "Alright then, but there can only be one more."

Mingqiu was in a daze about these season changes, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect Princess Yaohua to actually agree, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and without further words, the two of them formally started their human-making plan...

Everyone chatted, laughed, and played around until late at night. The five brothers and sisters of the Duke's Mansion were temporarily arranged in the guest courtyard, and Li Xiangwan followed them back to the courtyard. The lively Tingxue Garden suddenly fell silent. .

Ji Linglan ordered someone to prepare hot water, and the two of them went to bed after washing.Ji Linglan took Fu Nanling into his arms and said, "A Ling, did you have a good time today?"

Fu Nanling nodded and said: "I used to celebrate the New Year, but I only felt noisy and troublesome. I have never been so happy as today. A Lan, have you seen the lanterns of Liu Xi and Gao Siza?"

Ji Linglan shook her head and said, "I've been busy in the kitchen, I really didn't notice, what's wrong?"

Fu Nanling said with a smile: "The lanterns they made were of strange shapes, some were tall, some were short, and some had holes in them before they were lit."

"It seems that their skills are not good enough, let's forget about this year, let them go to apprentice one month in advance next year."

"There is also the window grille cut by Ting'er, which was obviously cut according to the pattern of a tiger, but she cut it out, no matter how you look, it looks like a pig, haha."

Recalling the window grilles that Ji Pingting cut, Fu Nanling couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that he was having a good time, Ji Linglan raised the corners of her mouth and said, "A Ling, do you feel wronged that I can't accompany you for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow?"

Fu Nanling said honestly: "I can't say it's a lie, but I'm also in the royal family, and I understand that Alan can't help himself. Besides, in my heart, today is New Year's Eve. I ate very happily, played happily, and am very contented." gone."

Ji Linglan hugged Fu Nanling's hand tightly, and said: "After you are cured, we will let go of everything and travel around the world. When we are tired from walking, we will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down. , I spend New Year's Eve with you every year, and I will never leave you alone."

Fu Nanling raised his head and kissed the corner of Ji Linglan's lips, and said, "Alan, I take everything you say seriously, so don't break your word."

Ji Linglan looked sideways at him, and said seriously: "I swear I will never break my promise!"

Fu Nanling put his arms around Ji Linglan's neck and said, "Alan, today is New Year's Eve, shouldn't we do something to make each other happy physically and mentally?"

"No, I've been tired all day, I'd better rest early."

"Alan can't accompany me tomorrow, so just take it as compensation, okay?" Seeing that Ji Linglan was a little shaken, Fu Nanling continued his efforts and said coquettishly: "I promise to have a good rest tomorrow, even if I sleep for a whole day. Alan, You should answer me."

Heartbroken, Ji Linglan lowered her head and kissed Fu Nanling's lips...
