Su Yan was woken up by the sound of crackling firecrackers in the morning.
Su Yan closed her eyes and swiped at the position on her right, touching a piece of cold bedding, she knew that Chu Yan must be going to do morning exercises.
Rubbing the sore waist that was caused by Chu Yan last night, Su Yan was in a daze and wanted to sleep for a while, when she suddenly realized that today is New Year's Eve. Su Yan forced herself to open her eyes, looking at the empty dormitory, she was still a little reluctant to leave the soft and warm bed.
Ever since they got married, there was no such thing as morning and evening peace with her, plus Chu Yan often pestered her to make troubles, Su Yan often slept until the sun was high, and it was even worse after winter. If it wasn't for the sound of firecrackers today, Su Yan might have slept until sometime.
It can be said that she is the most comfortable bride in the entire capital. Su Yan once deeply doubted herself, whether she would be raised as a pig by Chu Yan soon.
Today is New Year's Eve, Su Yan knew that she would have to go to pay New Year's greetings to King Jing soon, so she got up from the bed after a lot of effort, called the maid to come in and wait for her to wash, and put on the clothes newly made by Xiu Niang .
The clothes are made of blue material, with large white petals and yellow pistils embroidered on the dark pattern of the twirling branches. Although it is a small jacket, the waist is pinched in an ingenious way, which makes the waist look very good.
When Chu Yan went back to the room, he happened to see Su Yan drawing her eyebrows with a black pen with her back turned to her. Looking in the mirror, she looked extremely serious.
Telling the maids to withdraw, Chu Yan put his arms around Su Yan's slender waist from behind, and looked at the person in the mirror with his head on Su Yan's shoulder: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Chu Yan's existence didn't affect Su Yan Huamei's progress at all: "I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to the prince later, it's not good to go too late."
After all, they all live under the same roof, and the superficial etiquette still has to go.
Chu Yan stole a scent on Su Yan's cheek, and then handed a red envelope from his sleeve to Su Yan under Su Yan's coquettish eyes.
Su Yan put down the pen and took it over to open it. Inside was a wad of banknotes. Su Yan took it out and counted it. She looked at Chu Yan inexplicably, not knowing what he was doing for her banknotes.
Chu Yan explained with a light smile: "New Year's money."
"You took advantage of me again." Su Yan gave Chu Yan a look, and in a blink of an eye, she solemnly pressed the red seal under her pillow. In her impression, it seemed that she hadn't received the lucky money for a long time. So now that you receive lucky money, you have to have a sense of ceremony.
However, at the moment when the red seal was released, Su Yan sighed, and felt that after marrying Chu Yan, she lived longer and went back, and she was not like this before.
When she got up, looking at the neat and tidy bed without a single hair, Su Yan felt a little like peach cake.
Zhong Ning went back to Baiweitang to celebrate the New Year, so she abducted the peach cakes, but it has been four or five days and she hasn't brought them back.
Su Yan turned around and said coquettishly to Chu Yan: "Chu Yan, I miss peach cake."
Chu Yan looked dotingly at the pretty girl in front of him: "I'll ask Lian Xin to bring Taosu back later."
Su Yan happily agreed, took out a new set of clothes from the closet and urged Chu Yan to change into it.
When Chu Yan and Su Yan arrived at the dining room, King Jing, Princess Jing, Xiao Yurong, and Chu Zhao and Chu Lian had already started eating, and a few maidservants were waiting on them. Seeing Chu Yan and Su Yan coming, Jing Wang ordered people to add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Yurong saw that Chu Yan and Su Yan walked in side by side, the chopsticks in their hands were empty, but fortunately the chopsticks were in the bowl, so they didn't fall to the ground.
Su Yan seldom saw Xiao Yurong, she didn't feel anything, and after saying hello to King Jing, she sat in her seat with a calm demeanor.
Chu Yan sat next to Su Yan, and as soon as he sat down, he took the serving chopsticks and picked up two dumplings for Su Yan.
This scene fell in Xiao Yurong's eyes, directly making the dishes in her mouth feel like chewing wax.
Su Yan was not affected by Xiao Yurong at all, she ate two dumplings with vegetarian fillings and drank a bowl of porridge.
Su Yan is a new daughter-in-law, according to the rules, King Jing also wrapped a red envelope for Su Yan, and gave it to her after dinner.
"Thank you, Father." Su Yan took the red seal and handed it directly to Cai Xia, then bowed down and thanked King Jing.
Su Yan's reaction made King Jing feel relieved, and she was much more pleasing to the eye than usual.
As soon as Chu Lian rinsed his mouth, he ran to Su Yan's side, looked up at her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, happy Chinese New Year."
Su Yan smiled and gave Chu Lian a red seal that she had prepared before.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Chu Lian took the red seal and bowed to Su Yan, then bounced to the corner to open it.
Su Yan and Chu Yan looked at each other and smiled, holding another prepared red seal in their hands to look for Chu Zhao, just in time to see him standing beside Princess Jing, staring at Xiao Yurong's belly, his eyes were motionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking .
Seeing this, Su Yan quietly pulled Chuyan's sleeve to signal him to look at it. Chu Yan glanced at it and whispered in Su Yan's ear, "Don't worry about him."
Su Yan withdrew her gaze, stepped forward and handed the red seal to Chu Zhao.
As a sister-in-law, she has done her best, and it has nothing to do with her whether people accept her or not.
Chu Zhao saw that Su Yan handed him something, subconsciously looked back at Princess Jing, and saw that Princess Jing nodded before reaching out to take Su Yan's red seal, the voice in his mouth was so small that it was almost inaudible: "Thank you, sister-in-law .”
Su Yan responded with a faint smile from Chu Zhao. Chu Lian had already put the banknotes in the red envelope into his purse, excitedly wanting to rush towards Su Yan, but was stopped by Princess Jing's eyes. Chu Lian resentfully stood beside Princess Jing, but his gaze kept on Su Yan.
He likes this beautiful elder sister-in-law very much, and he doesn't know why his mother and concubine always don't let him play with elder sister-in-law.
King Jing invited a few opera singers to set up a stage in the backyard, and after breakfast, he began to arrange for the whole family to attend the opera. Su Yan never liked to listen to operas, so she found an excuse and went back to Ronghui Garden with Chu Yan, and lived their chic and unrestrained world of two.
King Jing didn't have any objection to Chu Yan and Su Yan's departure, because they were more comfortable without Chu Yan and Su Yan, only Xiao Yurong's eyes stayed on Chu Yan's back for a moment.
In fact, Xiao Yurong herself can't tell what kind of feelings she has for Chu Yan now. She clearly knows that she doesn't like him anymore, but seeing how affectionate he and Su Yan are together, she is jealous.
In Ronghui Garden, as soon as Su Yan entered the room, she saw four plates of snacks on the table, steaming from them, presumably they were brought in right after they were made.
Chu Yan never liked sweets, so he just sat aside and watched Su Yan eat.
The sound of firecrackers outside was endless, Su Yan looked out of the window while eating cakes and said: "I don't know what my mother is doing now, she celebrates the New Year by herself, it should be quite boring."
