As they walked forward, they heard the sound of guns and fireworks exploding in the air.
I don't know how long it took to walk outside Tangdi hall. At a distance, ye sang and Ji Changye saw that there were many tables in the courtyard, and only two or three cold dishes were served, but the table was full of people.
"Young master, young lady."
"Young master..."
The uneven sound of asking an rang in their ears. They walked on the road of the crowd, nodded with a smile, walked into the Tangdi hall, and sat down at the east main table. Then they went to see the crowd in the hall.
After the ceremony, because ye sang made a speech, they all sat in their seats, and there were only two or three cold dishes on the table in front of them.
Several kitchens in Chuang Tzu are still cooking. Because the master has not arrived yet, he can't ask people to sit and wait. When there is no food on the table, he will pick up these cold dishes to serve. On the one hand, it is a complete gift of the banquet, and on the other hand, it is also respected by the master.
Steward Lin and several other stewards have the highest status here. Naturally, they sit at one table under the main table, and they are dissatisfied with each other. They don't like extravagance and waste. Naturally, they don't want to be free. They pull a few capable people to sit down.
"Listen to me, big guy. Today, our young master and young lady..."
Because a few people below Lin steward came forward to promote the atmosphere, and after a few words, there was no silence in the hall and the courtyard outside Tangdi, and there was no high or low voice during the dinner, which made it feel like New Year's Eve dinner.
The maidservants came from all the kitchens, carrying trays, food and tea in their hands. They should have sent them in, fish in, and arrange the dishes in turn.
The general's house is very happy. When he comes to Chuang Tzu in the north of the city, the atmosphere is not bad. In addition, it's new year's Eve, and there are scattered light snow outside. This kind of picture makes Ye sang feel a little warm.
He picked up the tea cup on the table in front of him, gently pulled the lid of the tea and blew the foam in the water. Ji Changye is still at ease now. He just looked at his wife's mood and asked, "what's the matter with Sonny, but she's just frozen outside?"
Steward Lin was sitting in a seat not far from them, and he heard his words with sharp ears.
As soon as I heard that it was cold, I became nervous before I heard it clearly. I summoned my maid to come and ordered me to move a few more small stoves to the hall to dry.
Ye mulberry corner of the eye Yu Guang see Lin steward's action, want to make a sound to stop, but did not have time, Zheng after a while should Ji long night words, "OK."
Not light not heavy two words export, but make Ji long night heart also cold a bit, the atmosphere suddenly some quiet up, a few steward don't know the reason, since also didn't realize this subtle change and two people's not right.
No matter what Ji Changye thought, ye Sang was having a hard time sitting there at the moment. He thought that the situation in the DPRK was already worrying. He just read the letter sent by xuanyuanlie at the street corner, and his mood fell to the bottom and he couldn't get up again.
Ye sang, like a puppet in a puppet show, holds up the tea cup on the table with no expression, one hand against the cup, and the other hand gently or heavily pulls the lid of the tea, but he hasn't drunk a mouthful of tea for a long time.
Looking at her this appearance, Ji long night heart is only distressed, but when she is reading Leng Ruolan mentioned the issue of the heirs, many things come together, make her powerless just to such a point.
As time went by, the dishes in the back of the kitchen didn't have to wait because of the arrival of the two masters. They went on very fast. The maidservants were walking in and out of the hall, and the tables in front of them were already full of plates.
Seeing that the dishes are almost ready, Ji Changye raises her hand to lift the teapot, pours a cup of tea for others, and gently pushes the tea cup to remind her.
Pulled back to the reality by the movement in front of him, ye Sang's nose almost invisibly incited him, and his expression changed from just now blurred to solemn. With a soft smile between his eyebrows and eyes, he looked at Lin Guanshi, "the dishes are almost ready. Today's new year, let's all open up to eat and drink. Let's not be polite tonight, let's not make a person uncomfortable."
Steward Lin nodded and glanced at several stewards sitting on his side. Among them, someone stood up and spoke in a high voice to the whole hall. "Today, our young master and young lady specially came to Chuang Tzu to spend New Year's Eve with the villagers. We all know the situation this year. I don't know who killed a thousand swords to Chao "The court has said that it has increased a heavy tax at the end of the year. These are all from the government's accounting room."
After a pause and a breath, his voice rose a little higher. "The young master and the young lady are considerate of us villagers. We should do our best and work hard to make the grain crops on the farm full!"
On weekdays, they didn't treat tenants and servants badly. Ye sang and Ji were famous all night. At this time, the steward opened his mouth, and the atmosphere was good. Naturally, they echoed each other.
"Yes, yes. If we change places, we don't know how we will be ridiculed and criticized by our masters."
"In other people's eyes, if you don't treat us as human beings, how can you come to have a new year's Eve dinner with us on New Year's Eve? That is to say, young master and young lady are kind-hearted and take us as upright people..."“……”
One by one, I would like to thank the couple for their kindness, to be moved by their daily behavior, and to swear to be loyal to them in the future. There are also many people who go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire.
Ye Sang was deeply moved. In ancient times, his true feelings were not as much as those in modern times. In many ways, they were less than those in modern times. But in other aspects, they were more. For example, the feelings of the monarch and his ministers, the righteousness of the master and his servant, were countless, which made people feel sad.
Immersed in such a scene atmosphere, ye Sang's loss and depression at the bottom of his heart just now seemed to be thrown out of the sky at this moment, and the whole person also felt much lighter, without the heavy feeling just when he was on the carriage.
The main table and the steward moved the chopsticks, and the people inside and outside the hall picked up the chopsticks one after another. A hot and noisy dinner full of all kinds of feelings officially began.
Ji Changye's feeling is limited. Her eyes are on Ye sang from beginning to end. She carefully observes the expression changes of other people. She feels that there is a warm current in her heart, just like a touch of sunshine in this cold winter day. It warms people's heart, as if all things in the world are gentle.
Jiao Mei, Dong Jiu, zhe Pao and a few girls who came with them in the general's house are sitting at another table in the hall. They are just like everyone inside and outside, eating wine with vegetables, chatting and chatting.
This kind of scene is always very fast. After three rounds of drinking, when the food on the table reaches the bottom, many people are already drunk. The inside and outside of Tangdi hall is not noisy, but a kind of intoxicating excitement.
The world is full of fireworks.
How long has she not seen such a warm and peaceful scene.
Ye sang took a sip of tea and thought.
In recent days, because she was worried, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ji Changye was not at ease. She invited the imperial doctor and song Jishi to come and see them again. Then she worked out a prescription to cook medicine and told her not to drink. Now she has to use tea instead of wine. She secretly respects heaven and earth in her heart and prays for the peace of all living beings.
Seeing that many people had fallen down and fell asleep on the table, Lin was in charge of their table. Because they had to take care of the table, they didn't drink a few glasses of wine. They just took a few drinks when they came to toast.
Looking at Ye Sang's look, he seemed to be in a trance. Steward Lin looked at the other people around him, raised the table and bowed to him. "Young master, young lady, the things in the car have been moved into Longyu Pavilion according to the order. Now it's getting late. You'd better go back to the pavilion and have a rest earlier. Let's have the rest here."
Listening to what he mentioned in the car, ye sang suddenly remembered that he would go to beiheng general's house to pay a new year's call tomorrow morning, and his mind suddenly became clear, "OK, thank you."
The corner of his eye sweeps Ji Changye beside him. Ji Changye doesn't drink with Ye sang tonight. He has other thoughts in his heart. Naturally, he is more sober than ye sang.
After listening to the two people's question and answer, Ji Changye stood up and took Ye Sang's hand. She didn't seem to care about the presence of an outsider, so she walked out of Tangdi hall.
Jiao Mei and Dong Jiu were also busy putting down their things when they saw the situation. They quickly arranged their clothes and followed them.
As soon as they get out of the hall, there is a cold wind in front of them. When they come out of the warm room, they are still wrapped in the heat. For a moment, they don't feel very cold, but the white air they breathe out reminds them that it's the coldest time in winter.
"Go faster."
Ji Changye naturally knew these common principles, so as soon as she got out of the hall, she stood still, raised her hand to fasten the silver fox cloak that ye Sang was wearing at random on her shoulders, and then urged her to go faster, or to get less cold.
They walked arm in arm, their hands clasped under their sleeves, and the cold wind poured in from their sleeves, but they didn't feel cold at all. The warmth in their hearts was better than many.
When Chuang Tzu was first built, a courtyard close to Tangdi hall was specially reserved for their convenience. Ji Changye himself called it "Longyu Pavilion", and the distance was not far.
Therefore, after only a cup of tea, he arrived outside the Longyu Pavilion. After folding his robe, he asked Ji Changye a few important questions and then stepped down, leaving only jiaomei and Dongjiu to wait on him.
Into the courtyard, listening to the girl behind closed the door, outside the bustle seems to be completely isolated at this moment.
Here is the private space in Chuang Tzu, which belongs to Ye sang and Ji Changye, and will not be disturbed by outsiders.
The hot water in the side room was already ready. Two girls were waiting for them to take a hot bath. After washing, they retired. They stayed in the outer room to watch the night, and only Ji Changye and ye sang were left in the inner room.
