King’s House Kindergarten

As Hansheng leaves Beijing, the meaning of the new year is getting stronger and stronger!

There are lanterns and lanterns, fire trees and silver flowers everywhere, and festive decorations for the New Year's Day are arranged in advance.

The Pingyuan Palace was also changed into a festive arrangement in one day, and even the closed kindergarten was not left behind.

During the winter vacation, the children have to arrange the kindergarten by themselves.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Yue spent a whole day in the kindergarten with the children. Everyone had a clear division of labor, dusting, cleaning, wiping, and returning to their places. The children had a sense of ownership from beginning to end. With the help, I completed the arrangement work I was thinking about, and also let the kindergarten celebrate the New Year with everyone.

Uncle Tao also bought new clothes for everyone to wear during the new year. During the new year, everything is auspicious. When trying on clothes, the babies are like little red lanterns, cute and festive.

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is the last day when the market is still open.

Many foreigners whose homes are around the capital have returned to their hometowns, and those who stayed in Beijing have built their homes in Beijing.

Therefore, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is not particularly lively, but walking in the street market, the children realized the meaning of the New Year.

Shen Yue also remembered that when she and her uncle, aunt, Liang Ye, and Hansheng were in Beijing for Chinese New Year, her aunt would start preparing the New Year's goods around Laba, and then add another round on the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, so the family was full of dazzling New Year's, eye-catching explanations. Happiness.

At that time, the children in the family included her and Liang Ye, and Han gave birth to three children.

Hansheng was younger, and she quarreled with Mr. Liang Ye.

But she read a lot and bickered in a roundabout way. Liang Ye was so helpless, her uncle always said that she was the same as her mother.

Yes, how good is the mother still...

You can see that she and Han Sheng have grown up.

She also wanted her mother to meet Qingzhi.

It is a pity that there is no if in the world, but as long as the New Year is close and praying for blessings, everyone will be safe.

Will be reunited one day.

"Ayue, I want those bunny ears." Tao Tao pointed to the bunny ears hanging outside the shop.

Shen Yue felt that several people were familiar.

Tao Tao smiled and said, "On the way to Xucheng, I have one, A Yue has one, and my uncle has one."

Shen Yue smiled, she remembered.

At that time, some people were not very willing, but they still couldn't stand the trouble of Tao Tao, and finally carried it on their head, because it was eye-catching, and there were people looking at him everywhere...

Tao Tao still remembers.

As the New Year is approaching, the children in the family are starting to miss Qing Zhi.

...

On this day, from noon to dusk, large and small bags bought a whole carriage of things.

Finally, the kids want to take a walk back.

In fact, Dongshi is a little far from the Pingyuan Palace, Shen Yue said with a smile, "Then let's go."

The kids are very happy.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Ling Yun's ambition to return to the Pingyuan Palace was stranded.

It's so cold in winter, it's too hard to eat at night, and the ground is too slippery...

After all, all kinds of excuses have been found.

Shen Yue knew very well that just now, Zhuo Ye actually asked Zhuo Ye to prepare the carriage. It was just that the children were interested in letting them take a walk on a whim, but the carriage was still ready. So the little babies just finished speaking, when Zhuo Ye drove the carriage to the side and stopped, "Wow~ Zhuo Ye!" The children were very happy, wishing everyone would come forward and hug him.

Zhuo Ye coughed lightly.

I'm really not used to it, it's better that everyone beat him up.

Sure enough, Xiao Wu was the last to get on the carriage, and the lion roared, "Ah! How come you are so slow, Zhuo Ye, I'm freezing!"

Well, this is in line with everyday logic.

Just thinking about this, Xiao Wu stepped forward with a smile and laughed, "I lied to you! Zhuo Ye, look at your little expression! You are the best!"

"..." Zhuo Ye wanted to die.

But waiting for the cage of children to get on the carriage, Zhuo Ye drove the carriage back to the house, and suddenly laughed out loud.

This ancestor!

It's his nemesis.

With the carriage there, the process of returning home is much faster.

The children were chattering excitedly on the carriage. The whole carriage was like a zoo, with cats barking, dogs barking, chicken barking, and pig feet, but Zhuo Ye was in a good mood today.

Maybe it's because of the new year...

As long as these ancestors are happy!

When the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Pingyuan Palace, the servant on duty at the gate greeted him, "Young masters, young ladies, Miss Shen, Young Master Biao is here!"

Cousin?

Shen Yue was stunned, where is the cousin?

The servant continued, "Biao Gongzi is with Butler Tao! Butler Tao asked Xiao to wait here for Miss Shen and all the young masters and young ladies, and said that when Miss Shen brought the young masters and young ladies back, she would go to the side hall. , just meet."

Ah Si approached Shen Yue and said at the right time, "Meng Zihui... is the grandson that my aunt loves the most!"

Meng Zihui?

Shen Yue only felt that she had heard this name somewhere.

Thinking about this, "Ah! Meng Zihui!"

As if all the children except Ah Si were screaming!

He covered his ears, he shook his head, some said that he was tired and wanted to go back to the garden to rest, some said that he had a bad stomach tonight and that he had to go back to have diarrhea, and some said that he had just caught a cold, so he had to go back and take a hot bath. Those who catch a cold, even the most sensible and obedient Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi have successively said that they are too sleepy today, they really can't open their eyes, they really want to sleep.

"..." Shen Yue had never seen this group of children, so neat and tidy to avoid one person.

As usual, everyone likes it.

But it is rare to do so in unison.

Shen Yue couldn't help but wonder, is this Meng Zihui with three heads and six arms, or is he fierce, or...

Shen Yue couldn't think of an adjective.

After all, after listening to the little servant, the children filed in and ran away.

The little servant was extremely embarrassed.

He has to go back to talk to Butler Tao. This embarrassing scene is a big New Year's Eve...

Shen Yue said with a smile, "You told Butler Tao, just say what I said, the babies were too sleepy to open their eyes on the carriage today, I told them to go back to sleep, and I'll go later."

"Okay, Miss Shen." The servant was relieved.

When Miss Shen spoke, that was it.

The sons and daughters of this mansion are all under the control of Miss Shen!

Miss Shen said that the young masters and young ladies were too sleepy to open their eyes on the carriage, that is, they were too sleepy to open their eyes!

The boy quickly slipped away.

Shen Yue was arrogant, just about to enter the mansion, but saw Ah Si still standing in the same place, not running away like the children next to her.

Shen Yue was curious and joked, "Ah, what happened today? The sun came out from the west?"

On weekdays, everything runs the fastest, so much so that Ah Si, who doesn't want to see anyone and doesn't want to go anywhere, doesn't run today? !

That is, in Ah Si's eyes, Meng Zihui is still normal?

Shen Yue looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Ah Si sighed, "I didn't mean that..."

After speaking, he asked the doorman on the side, "Is the second brother back?"

The little servant cupped his hands and replied, "Not yet."

Today is the last day before the end of the year. There are many things going on in the court. Zhuo Yuan is not there, and the burden is all on Zhuo Xin. Especially in the last two months, Zhuo Xin has been very busy, and sometimes it can be difficult from morning to night. When I saw Zhuo Xin, it was very easy to see him, and it was all over again. The Chinese New Year is almost here. I can't wait.

Therefore, Zhuo Xin has not returned to the house yet.

Tomorrow is the end of the New Year, and today is the last day of work.

Ah Si angrily sighed, "Yue, let me go with you..."

Shen Yue blinked, the sun really came out from the west.

There is a distance from the gate to the side hall, and Shen Yue asked curiously, "A Si, the mansion calls Mencius Biao Biaozi in all the mansion, and he should be of the same generation as you, so Meng Zihui is Zhuo Yuan's nephew, so he is He Zhuo. Is it the same age as the new one, or the same age as you?"

Ah Si said with difficulty, "He's about the same age as Uncle Six..."

Shen Yue was stunned, "..."

The corner of Ah Si's mouth twitched, "I'm also very close to Uncle Six."

"..." Shen Yue felt even more strange, "Then why are the children beside him avoiding him? Even Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi?"

Ah Si corrected, "It's not the child next to me, I want to avoid him too! But the second brother is not here... You don't know how unreliable that Meng Zihui is, it's just..."

Ah Si hesitated, "You'll know when you see it!"

Ah Si still added, "He can keep talking all the time, Ah Yue, you just need to put your left ear in and out of your right ear, don't take it seriously, he can hold you and talk all night, even children, and... …”

Asi paused.

"And what?" Shen Yue asked.

Ah Si thought about it for a while, he was trying to say that the guy has a pile of romantic debts wherever he goes, peach blossoms!

A mouth, tongue-tied everywhere, speechless.

He followed Shen Yue because he was afraid that Meng Zihui would not know the relationship between A Yue and his sixth uncle. If this guy says something in front of Ayue and thinks he is romantic, it is very likely that he will be beaten to death by Uncle Six in the future... So he will follow to prevent Ayue from being hit by Mencius. Hui was intimidated.

When Shen Yue asked, Ah Si really couldn't say it clearly, so he had to say, "Also, he is a strange person, and his brain is not very good..."

Shen Yue nodded as if she understood.

Ah Si seldom says that the human mind is not good.

During the speech, he was just outside the door of the side hall. Inside the side hall, the voices of Meng Zihui and Uncle Tao could be heard vaguely, which sounded normal, not like the children who didn't like it so much.

When Shen Yue and Ah Si entered, they heard Meng Zihui say to Uncle Tao, "I want to visit the palace on the first day of the new year. My father's leg hurts this year, and he can't come, so my grandmother asked me to come to Beijing to pay my respects in front of Tianjia on behalf of my father. , just came over to see the younger brothers and sisters in the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps.

Tao Dongzhou got up, "Ayue."

Shen Yue led Ah Si forward, "Uncle Tao."

Meng Zihui also got up, and when Shen Yue finished greeting, he just heard Tao Dongzhou say to Shen Yue, "Ayue, this is the cousin of my aunt's family."

Ayue? Meng Zihui closed the folding fan in his hand and smiled happily, "Oh~ I remember! When I was in Lancheng, Sixth Uncle told me about Sixth Aunt!"

Shen Yue: "..."

Ah Si: "..."

Tauber: "..."

Ah Si Te wants to die, this pig teammate...

***

In a word, with the arrival of Meng Zihui, the noise level of the entire Pingyuan Palace has reached a new level.

Compared with him, Xiao Ba's talkativeness is nothing short of nothing.

Mencius Zihui could go on from waking up in the morning to the night to keep the year old, without stopping, and in the winter, he would not leave his body. When I still took the fan, Xiao Ba sighed, "I definitely won't take it. If I want to take it, won't the fan get wet?" Xiao Wu said again, he didn't know a fan. He came back to the Pingyuan Palace and brought a box. This box was full of his fans. Xiao Ba was stunned...

However, the arrival of Meng Zihui made the Nianguan suddenly livelier.

At least, the effect is comparable to a firecracker that never stops!

"Liu, you can actually speak! I really miss the time when you couldn't speak!" "..."

"Xiao Ba, why are you thin, but you don't look as good as when you were fat." "..."

"Xiao Qi, do you still cry when you drink the medicine? You are one of the most crying people in the government." "..."

"Axin, you are still arguing with Uncle Six, don't pay attention to him!" "..."

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..." "What!" "..."

"Peach..." "Wow (crying)..." "..."

"Asi..." "You better stop talking, no one will treat you as dumb."

The whole day, Shen Yue seemed to be watching a performance by Meng Zihui.

In Ah Si's words, it was better for him to be more restrained at the end of the year, and Shen Yue remembered that "six aunt" that he suddenly heard last night.

***

After lunch, the children went back to their respective gardens to sleep at noon.

Although the kindergarten is temporarily closed, the habit developed in the kindergarten is still there, and the children will insist on taking a nap every day.

Zhuo Xin discussed with Uncle Tao about today's New Year's Day. Tomorrow, he will go to the palace to pay respects. He may go there. The day after tomorrow, he may take the children of the mansion to several places to pay homage to the New Year. Then he will go to Puzhao Temple on the second day of the new year, and finally return to the mansion on the fifth day of the new year. Almost someone will come to Pingyuan Palace to pay New Year's greetings. The two made arrangements for a few days.

Meng Zihui spoke with Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was a little sleepy at first, but Meng Zihui suddenly mentioned that when the sixth uncle asked her how to get close to girls in Lancheng, he told him that she was a scumbag and a stalker! Don't look at Uncle Six's appearance, in fact, he has never been enlightened, and he is very innocent...

"..." Shen Yue suddenly knew where Zhuo Yuan's squeamishness came from.

Shen Yue smiled politely.

Meng Zihui said again, "Uncle Liu and I have been together since we were young. This time I will stay in Beijing for an extra month or two. If there is anything related to Uncle Liu in the future, just ask Aunt Liu, what kind of old man is he? I know it all!"

"..." Shen Yue forgot how to answer for a while.

***

After the children's nap was over, it took time to get up.

Then he took Shen Yue to play the adventure chess for a long time. At most six people played the adventure chess, including Ah Si, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, Tao Tao, exactly six, and Shen Yue accompanied them. Play.

The children enjoyed it until nearly an afternoon.

Meng Zihui was a little sleepy today, so he took a break in the middle to prepare for the New Year's Eve at night.

Zhuo Xin played with Shen Yue and the children for a long time, and when the children could play by themselves, Zhuo Xin and Shen Yue went for a walk in the garden.

At this time last year, the two of them were still with Zhuo Yuan and the little treasures in the house to spend the new year in Xucheng. Although they also encountered the horror of the earth dragon in Pingning Mountain, fortunately there was no danger. It only happened not long ago, but thinking about it carefully, how come it was all a year ago in the blink of an eye?

Time flies too slowly, but too fast.

Zhuo Xin smiled and said, "Ayue, don't worry, Uncle Six will definitely come back."

Shen Yue smiled, "Yes."

...

It will soon be the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. The New Year's Eve dinner should be the children's favorite part, because there are red envelopes!

Although Zhuo Yuan was not here this year, Uncle Tao sent Uncle Six/Uncle a big red envelope on behalf of him. All the babies hugged him and were reluctant to let it go. They would also ask, when will Uncle Six/Uncle come back?

Leaving Beijing in May, it is now the end of the year.

In the past, in the memory of the children, I never went out to fight for such a long time...

"I'll be back soon. As soon as the border war stops, Uncle Six will come back. Uncle Six is ​​the King of Pingyuan. He protects the family and the country. Naturally, he will be the first one. You should stop worrying about Uncle Six." Zhuo Xin has already Skilled enough to take on the nagging parent role.

Shen Yue couldn't help laughing.

Shen Yue and Zhuo Xin, as well as Meng Zihui, all sent red envelopes to the children.

The children were very happy to receive the red envelopes.

The longer the New Year's Eve dinner, the better, but it's hard for the little ones to stay quiet until the first round of fireworks.

You can leave the table while watching the fireworks, and the children flock to the garden to watch. The location of the Pingyuan Palace is very good, and you can just see the clear fireworks blooming.

Taotao wanted Shen Yue to hug her, but Shen Yue leaned over and hugged her.

"Ayue, will there be fireworks at my uncle's place?" Tao Tao asked curiously.

Where will there be fireworks on the battlefield?

But childlike words.

Shen Yue said warmly, "There are no fireworks, but with the same starry sky, he must be thinking of us under the starry sky."

Tao Tao really looked up and continued to look at the starry sky, as if in her mind she imagined that her uncle was also looking at the starry sky.

***

In the border camp, there is also a New Year atmosphere today!

At present, although the enemy does not dare to be careless, there are still arrangements for rotations, but the soldiers in the camp start to knead dough and make dumplings from noon. The dumplings are out of the pot, fished up, with spirits, singing the songs of hometown, it is the year of the gatekeeper!

Peace of home is peace at home!

Border camp, there are not too many side conditions.

But with warm dumplings and warm spirits, everyone can drink, sing, and even dance around the bonfires in front of them, thinking of their relatives at home. This is the best New Year's Eve.

Zhuo Yuan accompanied the soldiers in the army to eat dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner.

A few hours ago, he drank several rounds of spirits.

Zhuo Yuan returned to his account when it was about an hour later.

The family has the habit of keeping the year old every year.

Even when he was out on an expedition, he was used to lighting an ever-bright light.

There is no war at the end of this year, and it is rare for him to take a break from his busy schedule.

The booklet on the table was Shen Yue's twelfth lunar month. Because he was afraid that it would be too late to send it to him, the record would end on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, so this month was especially rare, and he felt a little reluctant every time he turned a page.

The booklet was only received this morning, because the heavy snow on the road delayed several days, but today is the best New Year's gift.

When he saw the eighteenth of the twelfth lunar month, he put it on hold, because today in the army for the Chinese New Year, they have to make dumplings collectively.

Right now, outside the tent, there are still the voices of gongs and soldiers singing about wine. Inside the tent, the lights are dim.

The nineteenth of the twelfth lunar month.

Twelfth lunar month twenty.

He suddenly realized that this was the last day, and he was a little reluctant to turn it over again, for fear that it would come to an abrupt end and the year would be deserted.

But when his fingertips turned over, his eyes were still stagnant.

After the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, there is no diary, and indeed every child said to him.

Ah Xin's, Ah Si's, Xiao Wu's, Xiao Liu's, Xiao Qi's, Xiao Ba's, Tao Tao's...

Zhuo Yuan's eyes suddenly became wet.

Who can imagine that when he saw these words at the end of the year, he felt in his heart.

Little Eight: "Uncle Six, you have to remember to eat on time. I heard the second brother say that fighting is very hard. You have to eat more to have strength. I miss you so much, when will you come back?"

Zhuo Xin: "Sixth uncle, everything is fine at home, I am with Tao Bo, you can rest assured."

Xiao Liu, "Uncle Liu, I can already talk. When you come back, I want to talk to you. Although I may still be afraid, I will not be afraid in front of Uncle Liu. Suisui is not here. I will take care of it. Taotao, Uncle Six, come back soon, we all miss you!"

Xiao Wu, "Uncle Liu Liu! I have grown taller again, and Ye Zi said, my swordsmanship has improved very quickly, and I can use a real sword after the new year. When you come back, I will fight with you. Be the loser!"

Taotao, "Uncle, I have become a big sister, and Xiao Lizhi came to the kindergarten. I have always taken care of her and played well with her. Uncle, Happy New Year, although you are not at home, I still feel that you are with us. Together. Uncle, I really miss you, my faith and wish is to see you this time next year!"

Xiao Qi: "Uncle Six, I have been exercising well, and I have never been sick again. You don't have to worry about me. You should take good care of yourself when you are outside. I will be sensible and listen to Ayue's words."

Ah Si: "Little lord misses you..."

Zhuo Yuan's eyes were scarlet, and he couldn't help swallowing softly in his throat, the tip of his nose was slightly red.

Just as I was about to close the booklet, I saw a page of paper at the end.

On the paper is the Q version of the family portrait. It is not decorated with scrolls. Instead, it is more warm and friendly. It should be when drinking Laba porridge.

Xiao Ba looked at the empty bowl with a look of envy; Xiao Wu stood up and said that he still wanted it; Tao Tao sat on the stool with his calves dangling, holding the bowl and smiled; Xiao Liu was listening to Xiao Qi, and both of them had a picture Serious appearance; Ah Si seems to be dozing off on one side; in one corner is Zhuo Xin, who should be looking at Xiao Wu, looking a little annoyed; on the other side, the person standing is Shen Yue...

Among this large group of people, the first person he saw was actually Shen Yue.

Fold the page back, and see that there is actually a line of small words on the back.

"Happy New Year, baby Qing."

Zhuo Yuan chuckled softly, then raised his head and looked at the night sky in the distance.

It's the end of the year, is she also keeping the year old?

***

Shen Yue was keeping the year old, and together with Uncle Tao, they were talking in the Fenghe Yuanwai Pavilion.

At today's New Year's Eve dinner, Zhuo Xin and Meng Zihui were drinking together, and both of them were unconscious.

Fenghe Garden is the main garden of the palace. Zhuo Yuan was out on an expedition, and he wanted someone to light a lantern in the garden for him. Originally it was Zhuo Xin, but something went wrong. , only Shen Yue was left.

In fact, when Zhuo was away from Beijing, she had never been to Fenghe Garden, afraid of seeing things and thinking about people.

Sometimes time and busyness can mask a lot of emotions. But suddenly, in an instant, these emotions may also come quietly.

Uncle Tao was afraid that she would not be used to keeping the year old alone, so he spoke with her in the outer cabinet.

With Uncle Tao there, he told a lot of interesting things about Zhuo Yuan's childhood, many of which Shen Yue had never heard of before, but at this time, he had time to calm down and listen to Uncle Tao.

Shen Yue would also ask, why did Uncle Tao come to the palace later when he was in the army?

She also heard Zhuo Yuan briefly mention that Uncle Tao used to be the old confidant of Zhuo Yuan's father in the army.

Uncle Tao stroked his beard and smiled, "Sharing your worries for the prince is the same as following the prince on the battlefield. With me, the prince will not be distracted, then my role in the mansion is far more important than following the prince in the army. Much bigger. And watching these kids grow up day by day makes it all worth it.”

Shen Yue also smiled.

Just right, with a "whoosh" sound, Zi Shi's fireworks burst into the night sky, and suddenly they reflected brilliant colors.

The time has passed, and she is guarding the old age for him in Fenghe Garden!

"Ayue, Happy New Year, everything goes well!" Uncle Tao spoke first.

Shen Yue also revealed her face, "Uncle Tao, Happy New Year and good health!"
