This place is the new residence of Cai Heqing's "Golden House Hidden Beauty". It is the first time for Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen to come here. Unlike Liu Yufang and Chen Qimei, they have been here several times.

"You are here, oh...Hua Zhi, Qianhua is also here, this is great, welcome."

Cai Heqing, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a cotton coat draped over his shoulders, opened the ceremony with a smile on his face, and the small mustache on his lips curled up happily.

"Mr. Heqing, happy New Year!"

"Wish you a happy old age, Mr. Heqing."

"..."

Everyone bowed to Mr. He Qing and paid New Year greetings.

"Hua Zhi is the only rare guest here, but I received the big dried fish that you sent to Jingming Academy years ago. Haha, let me express my belated thanks." Cai Heqing bowed slightly.

"Wherever, sir, I was too late to attend the wedding. I feel regretful. I just happened to make up for it with Qianhua today." Chen Tianhua said with a smile.

In fact, he only learned about it from Liu Yufang and Chen Qimei today, and he was full of surprise.

"Please don't mind. This wedding to Zhong Yu is a Western-style wedding. It was held in a church. All the guests were church members or believers, as well as a small number of relatives and friends. I didn't even notify Qianhua's family."

"oh…"

After saying this, Chen Tianhua understood.

So far, on the surface, he still belongs to no religion and no sect. He cannot be considered a Buddhist, and certainly not a Catholic.

"Let's stop nagging in the yard. It's so cold, Yingshi... let's go in first." Liu Yufang didn't know why, but recently she was particularly afraid of the cold. Before she could finish her words, she pulled Chen Qimei into the living room on the first floor.

Before the hostess appeared, I saw two figures walking straight into the door, sitting on chairs respectively as if they were at home.

When this was not enough, Liu Yufang grinned and shouted into the kitchen: "Senior sister, we have a guest."

"Hey, come on, aren't we preparing tea and fruit for you two?"

As he said that, a young woman in her late twenties came out of the kitchen, holding a copper tray with freshly brewed Longjing tea and fruits in her hand.

She has black hair tied high in a bun on the back of her head, an oval-shaped jade face, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a pair of big feet, and is elegant.

It turns out that in the couple's new home, there are no maids or servants. It is a complete world for the two of them, and they have enough food and clothing.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, this was a completely new style, very close to that of later generations.

"This is..."

Huang Zhongyu just put down the tray on the table and raised his eyes to see Chen Tianhua and Li Shuzhen behind Cai Heqing.

She had met Li Shuzhen several times, counting her as a junior sister, but this was the first time for Chen Tianhua.

"Hello, senior sister. Junior sister Qianhua wishes you happy new year."

"Hello, Mrs. Cai. Wansheng Huazhi wishes you a happy new year."

Li Shuzhen and Chen Tianhua both bowed to Huang Zhongyu and paid New Year greetings, but there was a generation difference in their titles.

"Zhong Yu, this is Chen Tianhua, also known as Huazhi, who is now Li Shuzhen's legal fiancé." Cai Heqing introduced quickly, but very humorously.

"Oh, it's better to see than to hear. He is really heroic. The hero who was on the front page of the newspaper last year bravely saved Lord Biao Tong at the birthday banquet. He saved his father-in-law." Huang Zhongyu was astonished but did not forget it.

Here comes a joke.

The two of them sang and harmonized, and they had to have a tacit understanding of each other.

"Haha..." Liu Yufang and Chen Qimei, who were standing aside, laughed heartily.

"It's unfair, Senior Sister, I have a lifelong private contract with Hua Zhi first, and he saves others later." Li Shuzhen protested with a pout on her face.

"Ouch, my junior sister is angry. I made a mistake. I apologize." Huang Zhongyu quickly put on a smile and said, "Come to Huazhi, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Mrs. Cai." Chen Tianhua cupped his hands before sitting down.

"Hua Zhi, don't call me Mrs. Cai. It's so awkward to be outside. Follow Qianhua and call her senior sister."

"yes."

"Also, don't always bow your hands. We are all new in this circle. There are not so many complicated etiquettes. Please be more casual and relaxed."

"I understand, Senior Sister." Chen Tianhua was stunned by the reprimand and replied with a blushing face.

For the first time, he discovered that there was such a beautiful and outspoken woman, who dared to teach people when they first met, a woman who looked familiar and looked very strong.

No wonder she, who comes from a wealthy family, could take a fancy to Cai Heqing, a second-married woman who is not very good-looking and has a unique vision.

"Come on... have tea, drink tea." Cai Heqing quickly smoothed things over, poured tea, and moved it in front of everyone.

Chen Tianhua took the teacup and drank without saying a word, while Li Shuzhen next to him curled her lips and smiled.

"How's it going? Have you experienced how powerful Senior Sister is?" Chen Qimei asked with a snicker.

"Ha ha..."

It was okay not to say this, but as soon as she said this, Li Shuzhen couldn't help it immediately, burst out laughing, and the tea she just drank sprayed on the table with laughter.

Chen Tianhua quickly took out a piece of straw paper from his pocket, helped wipe away the tea stains, tilted his head and whispered:

"Pay attention to the image of a lady."

After hearing this, Li Shuzhen said deliberately: "I am not a lady to begin with. Why, you still have time to regret it now."

"Haha..." caused another burst of laughter.

I don’t know why, but seeing Chen Tianhua slumped, Chen Qimei was very happy today and shouted towards the kitchen:

"Sister, please serve some wine and calm Mr. Hua Zhi's shock!"

When Chen Tianhua heard this, he tilted his head angrily when he saw his sworn brother gloating about his misfortune. He ignored it and was angry with himself!

What's the matter? As soon as I entered this door, I got slapped one after another. Could it be that my ideas and behavior are still weird?

After a few cups of rice wine and a few peanuts, his anger subsided somewhat.

"Here, let's have a few glutinous rice balls for each person as snacks. It's still early for dinner."

Huang Zhongyu quickly delivered a tray with four small bowls of black sesame glutinous rice balls, except Cai Heqing's.

But Cai Heqing had already rushed to the kitchen by himself, turned around and brought out a bowl.

Huang Zhongyu wore a bib around her waist, exactly like the hostess in the family of later generations.

Seeing Chen Tianhua staring at the glutinous rice balls in confusion, Chen Qimei joked:

"Why, haven't you seen glutinous rice balls?"

"I've seen it before. Isn't the Lantern Festival only eaten on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Chen Tianhua pretended to be dumbfounded and asked in confusion.

"This is called eating two things. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, eating this thing is called eating Yuanxiao, and on ordinary days, it is called eating glutinous rice balls." Cai Heqing seemed to be very knowledgeable, and he gave an explanation.

Oh, Chinese culture is rich and colorful. The same thing has different meanings on different occasions and in different seasons.

Looking at the cute Chen Tianhua, Chen Qimei laughed and cursed directly:

"How could Hua Zhi, a half-hearted person like me, attract my beautiful and well-known junior sister?"

"My half-baked water is pure water, not some people's turbid water, so it is extremely precious." Chen Tianhua retorted, winking at Li Shuzhen.

This made Li Shuzhen blush with embarrassment and hit him on the right shoulder with her pink fist.
