Chapter 62 New Year’s Eve

Author: Apple Atang

The New Year's Eve will soon come.

The capital city is bustling and bustling everywhere.

Zheng Ning met the man's steward in a secluded tavern.

The steward said very respectfully: "In recent years, there have been too many people on the street, and it is difficult for our father to come out. So you sent me. Don't be surprised."

Zheng Ning said: "Since he sent you here, it is natural that you can trust him. I have a package here. If you put it in the wine, it will not be noticed by anyone, and the wine will feel more mellow. You don't have to pursue Zhao Xinghe and the others blindly.

We can also take action on the other three garrison units. In short, we have to achieve something. Don't let me go to waste."

The steward said: "Don't worry. Zhao Xinghe is indeed full of tricks. He is the most difficult to deal with among the four guards. The rest are not too difficult. Don't worry, you will definitely achieve something."

Zheng Ning said: "In that case, I will go back. I opened a teahouse in the east of the city, called Ningchun Teahouse, and it will open after the Chinese New Year. If you have anything to do, you can go there, and someone will naturally send me a message."

The steward agreed, and the two of them talked for a while and then left.

The New Year's Eve dinner at Prince Ning's Mansion was prepared by Li Liang and others.

When the princess saw the rich delicacies on the table, she felt very unhappy. However, it was hard to get angry in front of the prince, so she had to endure it, and her face felt depressed. Those aunts saw her from a distance, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

They didn’t dare to make any noise at the table, and everyone was sitting seriously, not daring to talk or laugh. Xia Yuwei saw it, and although she didn’t know what happened, it didn’t matter to her, so she just pretended not to see it. Gao Mingzhu

It was when I was feeling uncomfortable during my pregnancy that I missed Zhao Yanting again, and I was completely silent.

When the prince saw it, he couldn't help but said: "What's going on this year? One by one, it doesn't look like celebrating the New Year!"

Zhao Xinghe quickly raised his glass: "Dad, let's have a drink."

The prince said: "Give me two kilograms of your Yuluo tea. After drinking your tea, I can't even taste the tea sold outside."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Weiwei made a total of two kilograms..."

The prince glared: "I don't care, spring tea will be coming soon, let her make more."

Zhao Xinghe had no choice but to agree.

Li Liang suddenly coughed next to him. Zhao Xinghe looked over strangely, and Li Liang immediately lowered his head.

Zhao Xinghe glanced at him, not knowing why.

The prince smiled: "Xinghe, I heard that your wife has a maid named Zimo..."

Zhao Xinghe said unhappily: "Dad, there are enough women in your yard..."

The prince said, "I don't want your child, it's him." The prince pointed at Li Liang. "He has taken a fancy to Zi Mo and wants to take her as his concubine."

Zhao Xinghe glanced at Li Liang again and said, "I have to ask Weiwei about this."

The prince said: "Okay, you go and discuss it."

Li Liang took a step forward and said, "My lord, you can say a kind word for me."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Don't worry, Weiwei has always been sensible, but I don't know if Zimo is willing."

Li Liang said: "You must help me."

Zhao Xinghe could only nod.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone observed the New Year's Eve and then dispersed.

As soon as Zhao Xinghe got home, he said to Xia Yuwei: "This year is so strange. Everyone seems to be unhappy. Do you know why?"

Xia Yuwei said: "I've been busy with the wine shop recently, and I don't know much about things there. It always seems like my mother is very unhappy, and I don't know why."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Send someone to inquire. See if my mother has encountered anything troublesome."

Xia Yuwei agreed.

Zhao Xinghe added: "General manager Li has fallen in love with Zimo and wants to take her as his concubine. Let me ask you."

Xia Yuwei said: "General Manager Li is impeccable, but he seems to be much older than Zi Mo. I don't know if Zi Mo is willing to do it."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Just ask. You must give Manager Li an explanation."

Xia Yuwei stretched out her head, kissed Zhao Xinghe, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

As soon as Zhao Xinghe turned over, he suppressed Xia Yuwei: "Weiwei, the New Year is only a few days away, and I'm going to the military camp again soon..."

Xia Yuwei smiled and kissed Zhao Xinghe again: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year and I'm going to pay New Year's greetings..."

Zhao Xinghe kissed him regardless, "You little rascal, let's see how I deal with you..."

The night passed like this.

The next day, Zhao Xinghe got up in high spirits, changed into a floral brocade robe, took a black jade hairpin, and went out to pay New Year greetings.

Xia Yuwei gritted her teeth and got up to wash up. After washing her face, she felt better.

Zi Mo said: "Princess, what clothes are you wearing today?"

Xia Yuwei said: "I want the red one, it's Chinese New Year, it's better to be festive."

Zi Mo brought some clothes, helped Xia Yuwei put them on, and chose jewelry. Xia Yuwei said, "Do you still remember Mr. Li who came that day?"

Zi Mo said: "Is it the manager of Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Xia Yuwei looked at her and said, "He told the prince yesterday that he wanted to marry you as his concubine."

Zi Mo's face immediately turned red.

Xia Yuwei said: "Are you willing?"

Zi Mo lowered his head and said nothing.

Xia Yuwei said: "If you don't want to, just shake your head."

Zi Mo still didn't speak, but didn't shake his head either.

Xia Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "General Manager Li has been working in Prince Ning's Mansion for many years and is Prince Ning's right-hand man. He is a smart, capable and fair man. If you can marry him, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life."

Zi Mo nodded.

Xia Yuwei said: "In that case, I will give you a dowry of two thousand silver..."

Zi Mo quickly said: "This is too much."

Xia Yuwei said: "If you want to marry someone else, you don't need two thousand silver, but to marry Manager Li, you still have to have this dignity."

Zi Mo knelt down to thank you, "Princess, thank you very much."

Xia Yuwei said: "This is also your own blessing. When you get married, you have to live a good life. I only want you to live a good life, so I can rest assured."

Zi Mo lowered his head and said, "Princess, I will keep your kindness in mind."

That's all for Xia Yuwei.

On the second day of the new year, Xia Yuwei followed Zhao Xinghe back to Pingxiang Hou Mansion.

Xia Yan was very happy when he saw them coming. He took Zhao Xinghe to drink.

Zhao Xinghe told the story about Liu Zhihe's poisoning.

When Xia Yan heard this, he was also worried, "Is Old Liu okay?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "The poison is very poisonous. Although the poison is detoxified, it will take a while to recover."

After hearing this, Xia Yan sighed: "Old Liu and I haven't seen each other for many years. We even led troops together back then, and we were just like brothers."

Zhao Xinghe asked: "Did you have any misunderstanding with him? I have never heard him mention you."

Xia Yan said: "Back then we... fell in love with the same woman, Yuwei's mother. At that time, Yuwei's mother was a famous beauty in the capital. The two of us... Later, Yuwei's mother married me.

Liu was very angry and refused to contact me again, so we haven't seen each other again for more than ten years."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Dad, you have to be careful too. You are also a general who has led troops. You have nothing to do recently, so try not to go out."

Xia Yan said: "I know, Yuwei sends people to inquire every day, for fear that something will happen to me, and I am really annoyed." He said that he was annoyed, but a smile appeared on his face. "Yuwei, this girl,

When she is verbose, she is just like her mother."

Zhao Xinghe also laughed, and the two of them talked about marching and fighting until they lit the lamp.

As soon as Xia Yuwei got home, she fell on the bed, "Ah, I'm exhausted."

Zhao Xinghe came over with a smile on his face: "It's not even bright yet, why are you so exhausted first?"

Xia Yuwei looked at him angrily: "You don't want to wait until dawn every day, do you?"

Zhao Xinghe said aggrievedly: "Weiwei, it's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in three days, and I'm going back to the military camp soon..."

Xia Yuwei looked at him helplessly: "Xinghe..."

Zhao Xinghe felt even more aggrieved: "You don't even feel sorry for me..."

Xia Yuwei had no choice but to reach out and hug him: "Xinghe..."

Zhao Xinghe turned his head and said nothing.

Xia Yuwei had no choice but to kiss the side of his face, "Xinghe, I..."

Zhao Xinghe didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and already cheered, overwhelming her, "Weiwei, I knew you were the best to me..."

Xia Yuwei was speechless, but seeing him so happy, she felt soft again. "Okay..."

Zhao Xinghe was pampered and even more elated.
