Mrs. Jia said: "I like this child Zhengdao very much. My sister is blessed."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to the adoption of this child, otherwise the Zhang family would not have a backbone now."

Mrs. Jia nodded in agreement and said: "If there is no man in the family, life will be boring."

Over the years, Mrs. Jia and her daughter, mother and daughter, have been dependent on each other and have gone through many hardships in the world. The only reason is that Mr. Jia died young and there is no man in charge of the family.

It was precisely because her family background was not what it used to be that Mrs. Jia decided to take her daughter and follow Zhang Zhengdao to live in Qinghe County, Yunzhou.

A gentle smile appeared on Mrs. Yu's face. Ever since Zhang Dahu's death, Zhang Zhengdao had been by her side every day, being respectful and filial. She didn't need to worry about anything big or small in the family, and everything was handled properly.

Although her son has become more romantic and brings women to the house every now and then, Mrs. Yu has long ignored these.

After all, in addition to their half-year-old grandson Zhang Ping'an, there are also four pregnant daughters-in-law, and the Zhang family will soon branch out and become a big family!

Live life, live life, what is life?

Just live your life as a human being!

Every time she thinks about this, Mrs. Yu feels very happy. The most correct thing she has ever done in her life is to adopt her nephew from Qingzhou to the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "If my mother-in-law doesn't mind, she can move in with my mother and keep her company. We can talk to each other every day, which is better than living alone."

Mrs. Yu also advised: "Yes, there are many houses in the house and there are many girls to take care of. It is better for my sister to move to Zhang's house. I also have someone who can talk to me."

Mrs. Jia did not agree on the spot, but her beautiful eyes flashed, as if she was recalling something, her cheeks were slightly red, and she said: "Let me think about it again."

Mrs. Yu said: "Sister, what else do you have to consider? It's decided like this."

"Da Lang, tomorrow move all your mother-in-law's belongings to Zhang's house and live in the empty yard next door." Mrs. Yu ordered.

Zhang Zhengdao immediately replied: "Mom, I know."

Seeing that Mrs. Yu had settled the matter, Mrs. Jia couldn't refuse any more. She glanced at the handsome Zhang Zhengdao and said, "Thank you, sister."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "I should be the one to thank you. Although there are many female relatives in the family, they are all juniors, and it is not convenient to say some things."

Zhang Zhengdao echoed: "My mother is right. My mother-in-law lives in the Zhang family and can stay with sister Xiang'er, so she won't be too lonely."

Listening to Mrs. Yu and Zhang Zhengdao singing harmony, Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I will move here tomorrow. Anyway, my son-in-law's family has a big business, so I won't be short of food."

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Two ladies, sit down for a moment, I will arrange the New Year's Eve dinner."

After saying that, he hurried away.

Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "This child is always so irritable."

Mrs. Jia smiled and said: "Zhengdao has done very well at this age."

The two beautiful women sat together and chatted for a while. Then they saw Zhang Zhengdao leaving and returning, so they asked them to get up and move.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zhengdao, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Jia and four maids walked through several moon gates and came to the main hall in the front yard of the Zhang family.

When we entered the house, it was as warm as spring. The fire walls on both sides had been burning for a long time, driving away the chill.

But I saw that six large round tables had been placed in the hall, and they were filled with a variety of dishes.

Zhang Zhengdao helped Mrs. Yu sit in the main seat and asked Mrs. Jia to sit on her right. Zhang Zhengdao clapped his hands, and then he saw beautiful women wearing new clothes filing in.

Wu Yueniang stood in the front, and behind her stood Lin, Mrs. Wei, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, Sun Erniang, Zhuo Diuer, and Jia.

And the pretty doctor Jiang Huilian who was forcibly dragged in by Meng Yulou.

Several girls bent down to sing, and then shouted in unison: "The flowers are blooming and the house is filled with gold and jade!"

Mrs. Yu smiled broadly and waved her hand: "Okay!"

After the girls retreated to the side, several sisters from the Holy Maidens' Heavenly Group followed and turned around. They also bent down to say blessings and said in a crisp voice: "May you be blessed with happiness and may you live forever!"

Mrs. Yu also smiled and said: "Okay!"

After the six sisters retreated to the other side, a group of maids, led by Sun Xuee, stood in the hall and shouted in unison: "Peace and good luck every year!"

Mrs. Yu’s smile is even brighter!

Seeing his mother happy, Zhang Zhengdao smiled and waved, "Let's have a dinner!"

Then the maidservants got busy, bringing out plates of steaming dumplings.

Zhang Zhengdao's wives and concubines sat next to him at the main table one after another. Only Jiang Huilian was a little embarrassed and wanted to get up to hide, but was grabbed by Meng Yulou's hand, so she had no choice but to sit with her head down.

The six sisters from the Holy Maiden Group sat at the same table.

The butler, Uncle Zhang, took Zhang Liu and the only horse servant in the house to sit at a small table.

At the remaining three tables, a group of maids sat separately.

After all the Zhang family members, big and small, gathered together and sat down, Zhang Zhengdao picked up his wine glass, stood up and shouted loudly: "Tonight is December 30th of the second year of Zhenghe's reign in the Song Dynasty. It is also New Year's Eve. After that,

One hour is the first day of the new year."

"A lot of things happened in the past year, some happy and some unhappy, but no matter what, it is a blessing for the whole family to sit here neatly." Zhang Zhengdao looked around and said with a smile: "Tonight,

My Zhang family made an exception and allowed everyone to sit together and have a lively New Year's Eve dinner, regardless of master or servant."

"Thank you, Master!" Uncle Zhang stood up and shouted.

Everyone also quickly stood up and shouted: "Thank you, Master!"

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, and continued: "In recent years, my Zhang family has never been as lively as it is today."

"Tonight, there is no distinction between master and servant. Everyone can eat and drink!" Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand and raised his wine glass high: "Here's a toast to everyone first!"

Zhang Zhengdao drank the wine in one gulp: "I announce, the Zhang family's New Year's Eve reunion dinner."

"Open the banquet!"

Immediately, the cups and plates clattered, and everyone drank the wine in the cups one after another.

Zhang Zhengdao gave Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Jia a dumpling each, and said with a smile: "Mom, mother-in-law, I made this myself. Try it quickly."

Mrs. Yu was very happy tonight, with a smile on her face. She ate the dumplings and praised: "The dumplings made by my son are still delicious."

Mrs. Jia also smiled and said: "Zhengdao is determined."

After the two ladies had finished eating the dumplings, everyone started using their chopsticks.

At the Zhang family's New Year's Eve reunion dinner, Zhang Zhengdao actually broke the rules of the era and asked all the servants in the mansion to sit down and eat together.

As soon as these words were said, the maids and servants in the mansion were moved.

Zhang Liu, the loser who had followed Zhang Zhengdao for the longest time, said with emotion after having a few glasses of wine: "The officials have really changed!"

Uncle Zhang glanced at Zhang Zhengdao, who was joking with Mrs. Yu, nodded and said, "Yes, Da Lang, you have grown up!"

More than a year ago, Zhang Zhengdao was injured by Wang Sanguan. When he woke up, he seemed to be a different person and had not done many ridiculous things.

Not only does he speak kindly, and he has never punished any servants in the house, he is also generous, and the monthly money he gives to everyone has increased to ten thousand dollars, which makes other servants of wealthy families envious.

However, Dalang seems to be more obsessed with women than before.

Uncle Zhang glanced at the dozen or so women at the main and secondary tables, and shook his head helplessly.
