Chapter 293

In more than 20 years of her life, Xia Houyu almost never received serious gifts.

He suddenly felt a little nervous. He reached out and took the red paper bag, and opened it with dignity. What I saw inside was a wooden box. In the box was a red knitted fabric, which felt very soft. He took it out and looked at it. It was a long one.

Chen Jia looked at him as if he were ignorant. She smiled and shook things out of her hand and said, "it's called a scarf." as she said, she wrapped the scarf around Xia Houyu's neck and tied a beautiful knot.

The neck is warm and soft. Xia Houyu rubbed her chin twice and asked him, "this is the first time I've heard of it."

Chen jiaa: "when wandering in the Jianghu, it's cold in winter in the north. People will bring scarves when they go out. Family and friends often give scarves to each other."

When Xia Houyu heard him say "family", "friends" and other words, she felt hot at the bottom of her heart and asked, "did you do it yourself?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry. Don't mind the third prince."

There is no such thing as wool in Daxia country, so Chen Jia bought the best red cotton scarf on the street, cut it into a thin one, and simply made it by hand. After so long, his sewing and weaving skills are still very poor, and this scarf is only a level that can barely be given away.

Xia Houyu didn't dislike it at all. If she had a tail, she must shake it secretly at the moment. He stood in front of the bronze mirror, took a picture and said, "but why is it bright red? It's good to wear it during the new year. It's a little strange to wear it again after the new year."

Chen Jia was stunned. He didn't intend to let him wear it for long

Just listen to Xia Houyu continue to say: "when you are free, make me another one. I want a dark purple one, or ink can also."

Chen Jia had to answer, "OK."

Xia Houyu didn't take off this scarf when she went to bed that night, so she slept safely.

The next day is the first day of the new year. The sound of firecrackers came early in the morning in the capital. The palace banned firecrackers for fire prevention. However, on the first day of the new year in each palace, there were various methods, including pasting Spring Festival couplets and sending red envelopes.

According to the Convention, on this day, the concubines and concubines would like to pay a new year's call to the queen, but the queen lived in seclusion and had long avoided saying hello in the morning and evening. Therefore, the thoughtful women in all palaces went to the side of the virtuous concubine. The virtuous concubine naturally put on airs, said some high sounding words and gave some rewards. It was a school of peace.

Several princes went to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor in the early days. The eunuch said that the emperor was very happy and gave each prince a red envelope. The little princess of the scorching sun didn't get up because she was lying in bed. The emperor specially asked her servants to send the red envelope of the princess of the scorching sun to the German imperial concubine palace.

However, there must be no such treatment in Qianyi hall.

Although there was no red envelope, there was also a new year's gift from the Qianyi hall. Even if they are buckled layer by layer, the things they get are much richer than usual, including fresh vegetables, large pieces of pork, salted fish, pickles, snacks and so on. Chen Jia has long wanted to make hot pot for Xia Houyu on this day.

The condiments needed for the hot pot are not complicated. He had prepared all kinds of spices when he left the Palace last time. He cooked them thoroughly in the big bone soup. When the hot soup rolled up, he poured spicy oil on it. To take care of Xia Houyu's intestines and stomach, you can't put too much spicy oil. Chen Jia poured a little into the soup and prepared one for herself.

After the soup is cooked, the rest is simple. The vegetables are washed, the fresh meat is cut into thin pieces of meat, and the hot pot with some pickles is completed.

He moved the table under the window of the warm room. They ate hot pot with the snow outside, not to mention how happy it was.

Xia Houyu is still the first time to eat hot pot. She has a rare appetite and sweats at the tip of her nose.

"Why did you cook such delicious food and never cook it for me before?" Xia Houyu even gave her opinion.

Chen Jia replied, "the taste is too strong. It's bad for you. It's just that you can't eat it until the new year." when he spoke, he saw Xia Houyu sweating on his forehead and got up to close the window to avoid the wind.

Xia Hou Yu curled her lips to express her strong dissatisfaction, but she was ignored. He looked at Zhong Liqing, who had a separate spicy oil in front of him. He was envious. Zhong Liqing could eat and drink spicy food, but he could only smash a little spicy oil.

"When can I receive formal treatment?" Xia Houyu couldn't help asking. He really couldn't wait to have a normal body.

"You need to take more medicine bath for another month. When your weight and muscle strength reach the standard, you will start formal treatment," Chen Jia replied.

When Xia Houyu heard the speech, she had already felt full and buried herself in eating a few more mouthfuls.

Chen Jia said, "don't eat hard. Be careful if you have stomach pain."

Later, it really made him a prophecy. Xia Houyu had enough to eat at noon. She had planned to take a nap in bed, but she didn't feel sleepy. Chen Jia took his pulse and said that his stomach was bloated and indigestible. He opened his clothes and rubbed his stomach.

It's reasonable to say that Xia Houyu should not be uncomfortable taking a medicine bath in front of Zhong Liqing naked every day, but Zhong Liqing's hand massaged him close to his belly. He felt an unspeakable feeling at the bottom of his heart, a little ashamed, a little happy, and a little distracted itch.

Chen Jia didn't know what Xia Houyu was thinking. She focused on his flat belly. He stretched out his hand and gestured. Xia Houyu's waist was pitifully thin. He wondered whether to give him another night snack from now on.

Chen Jia rubbed his stomach while thinking about things. He rubbed his eyelids and drooped down. He began to practice the starting point head skill.

Xia Houyu looked funny, but did not call him, but took advantage of the situation to let Zhong Liqing go to the bed next to him. Watching him drowsy, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

Xia Houyu finally had the opportunity to brazenly observe Zhong Liqing at a close distance. They were in a big bed, shoulder to shoulder, and could hardly be closer. Xia Houyu lay flat and found that her leg was longer than Zhong Liqing's. she secretly enjoyed it for a while. He tilted his head and looked at him. Zhong Liqing was as handsome and beautiful as before. He had neither the ruggedness of ordinary men nor the softness of women. He was an unspeakable beauty beyond gender.

Xia Houyu couldn't help thinking: is it because he is a eunuch?

Thinking of this, Xia Houyu's joy cooled down again. Zhong Liqing was persecuted because of him. One day, he wanted to restore Zhong Liqing's loyalty at home.

On this day, Chen Jia woke up and found himself asleep next to Xia Houyu. They were often under the same roof. He didn't feel anything special. He got up as usual, cleaned the yard and began to prepare dinner.

The days passed by in such an ordinary way. On the 15th day of the first month, a long silent Qianyi hall suddenly welcomed a guest.

The fifth prince came to the door in person, with a man and a woman, two beautiful women, and said, "third brother, this is a gift from your brother for Shangyuan Festival. You must accept it."
