    On New Year¡¯s Eve, the Yan family became lively early in the morning. Everyone in the house was dressed up and gathered together to eat glutinous rice balls in the old lady¡¯s yard.

    After breakfast, Yan Zhigao led several of his juniors to write couplets. On the female side, Mrs. Yan led everyone to put up window grilles and blessing characters. The family was talking and laughing, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere.

    Looking at the happy family, Daohua's heart was filled with joy, but she would think of Xiao Yeyang's lonely figure from time to time, and the joy in her heart faded away.

    "Cousin Yiyi, uncle has written the couplet, shall we go get it and paste it up?"

    When Yang Xiujun saw Daohua sitting aside and not moving, he smiled and came over to call her.

    Daohua smiled: "You and Yihuan and the others go to the post bar. I want to go to the kitchen to see how the dishes are being prepared." After saying that, she got up and left the yard.

    Looking at Daohua¡¯s leaving figure, Yang Xiujun looked puzzled. Her aunt had ordered the meals for the New Year¡¯s Eve family dinner early in the morning, so there was no need for cousin Yiyi to go over and keep an eye on her.

    "Xiuyun, what are you doing standing there? I didn't see your fourth cousin posting the couplets. Why don't you go over and help." Yan Siyu winked at Yang Xiuyun.

    Yang Xiujun glanced at Yan Wenkai, looked at the bright and sunny smile on his face, pursed her lips, and then walked over with a decent smile.

    Mrs. Li, who was joking with Mrs. Yan, heard her sister-in-law's voice, raised her eyes and looked at her niece walking towards her youngest son, and frowned slightly.

    On the other side, Daohua came to the kitchen and asked for a small stove, then rolled up her sleeves and started cooking food.

    Wang Man'er was working on the side. When he saw that his girl was cooking some light food, he immediately knew that it was for the young prince.

    At noon, Daohua put the prepared food into the food box and handed it to Wang Maner: "Go and ask Brother Xiao Liu to run a little faster and make sure he doesn't let the food get cold."

    Wang Maner nodded, picked up the food box and prepared to leave.

    "Wait a minute!" Daohua stopped the person, "Let the sixth brother tell Xiao Yeyang that I had lunch with the third and fourth brothers and went to play with him."

    Wang Man'er smiled and said, "I have taken note of it."

    Daohua said again: "Remember to avoid some people and go ahead."

    After Wang Man'er left, Daohua called the maid and brought the cooked rice cakes to the old lady's yard.

    Xiao Mansion.

    Defu silently put away the sweet soup that he had only eaten for a few mouthfuls, and turned to look at his master who was standing at the door looking in the direction of the door, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

    Today is New Year¡¯s Eve, a time for family reunion, but the master can only celebrate the New Year alone.

    Hey I wonder if Miss Yan can go out today?  If she can't come, the master will be disappointed.

    Defu walked towards Xiao Yeyang and asked with a smile: "Master, today's meal is prepared in the kitchen according to the menu from previous years. Do you think there is anything that needs to be added or subtracted?"

    Xiao Yeyang looked calm: "You can figure it out." After saying that, he was silent for a while and asked, "Has the black-bone chicken soup been cooked?"

    Defu nodded and said with a smile: "The kitchen has been cooking since early in the morning. The slave just passed by the kitchen and could smell the fragrance from a distance."

    The corner of Xiao Yeyang's mouth curled up slightly, and there was finally a smile on his face. After a while, he asked with some uncertainty: "Do you think she will come?"

    Defu paused for a moment, considered it, and said, "Miss Yan has always been a trustworthy person, and she will definitely do what she said."

    Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Aunt Li is strict, I'm afraid she won't let her come out."

    Defu didn¡¯t know how to answer the call.

    Not to mention that today is New Year¡¯s Eve, even on ordinary days, ladies from wealthy families cannot go out often. Although Miss Yan goes out more often than others, she must report to Mrs. Li every time, so he can¡¯t say for sure.

    At this moment, the concierge trotted in: "Master, a man named Qin Xiaoliu came here and said that he was ordered by Third Master Yan and Fourth Master Yan to bring you food."

    Defu looked happy, even more excited than Xiao Yeyang, and asked first: "Where is the person?"

    Concierge: ¡°Still standing at the door.¡±

    Defu: "Hurry up and get someone over here." He said, looking at Xiao Yeyang, "Master, I'll go over and bring the person over myself."

    Xiao Yeyang nodded expressionlessly.

    Defu looked at the smile in his master's eyes, and the smile on his face grew more and more, and he quickly left the yard.

    Soon, he took Qin Xiaoliu with himcoming.

    "I would like to say hello to the young prince. Happy New Year to the young prince."

    Xiao Yeyang raised his hand to ask Qin Xiaoliu to get up and looked at the food box in his hand.

    Qin Xiaoliu said quickly: "My girl made this herself. Once it is done, I will ask the younger one to bring it to you."

    Defu picked up the food box, touched it with his hand, and said with a smile, "Master, it's still hot."

    The corner of Xiao Yeyang's mouth curled up: "Well, I can eat it."

    Qin Xiaoliu smiled again and said, "My girl also said that after lunch, she, the Third Master, and the Fourth Master will come over to play with you."

    Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang looked up at the sky. The smile on his face couldn't be suppressed. It got bigger and bigger. After a while, he clenched his fist and covered his mouth and said, "I know."  As he said that, he glanced at Defu.

    Defu immediately took out a piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to Qin Xiaoliu: "Master rewards you."

    Qin Xiaoliu quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much, young prince."

    Xiao Yeyang nodded, turned around and entered the room: "Defu, give me a gift."

    "yes!"

    Defu put the food box on the table, and then took Qin Xiaoliu out. When he came back, he saw that his master had laid out the food in the food box and started eating.

    "The food cooked by Miss Yan is so fragrant that you can smell it from afar."

    Xiao Yeyang glanced at him sideways, with a smile on his face: "Are you a dog?"

    Defu laughed "hehe".

    Xiao Yeyang: "Okay, except for the black-bone chicken soup, all the food cooked in the kitchen today is for you. Go and eat. I don't need you here."

    Defu immediately thanked him in a loud voice: "Thank you, Master, for the reward. We are in a good mood today."

    Yan Mansion.

    Everyone in the Yan family also sat at the table, because Yan Siyu, mother and son were here this year, and the old lady was particularly happy, and the smile on her face never fell.

    Looking at the children gathered around her and the sumptuous meals on the table, Mrs. Yan¡¯s eyes were moist.

    She never dreamed that she would have such a day.

    There are many children and grandchildren, and the family is prosperous.

    Daohua noticed the strangeness of the old lady, and immediately picked up the jug and gave the old lady a glass of wine: "Grandma, my granddaughter wishes you a happy New Year, and the longer you live, the younger you will be."

    Mrs. Yan picked up the cup with a smile: "Seeing that you are so sensible and well-behaved, I will live for two more years. I will drink this cup."

    At the beginning of the rice flowers, the younger members of the family began to come over one after another to toast.

    Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li watched with smiles, but did not stop them. The old lady and the children drank fruit wine, which was not intoxicating.

    This meal was a bit long. Daohua didn't eat much because she had something on her mind. When the lunch was over, she would look at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao from time to time.

    Yan Wentao noticed Daohua¡¯s gaze and pulled Yan Wenkai, while Yan Wenkai pulled Yan Wenxiu again.

    Yan Wenxiu immediately smiled and said: "Sister, didn't you say before that you wanted to read the only book about farming in my study? I found it yesterday. You go and read it."

    Mrs. Yan smiled and said: "What kind of books should I read during the Chinese New Year?"

    Daohua stood up: "Grandma, I want to read it. I've been thinking about that book for a long time." As she said that, she looked at Yan Wenxiu and said, "Brother, where did you put it? I want it now."

    Yan Wenxiu: "Wen Tao and Wen Xiu know, let them accompany you."

    Daohua smiled and said, "Okay, we'll be back later."

    Watching the three people leave, Mrs. Yan smiled and shook her head, and then continued talking to her son and daughter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
