Fragrant willow catkins

The lights on the street are still on, and everyone is celebrating the arrival of the New Year, wishing good luck in the coming year and that everything will get better.

In the early morning, birds chirped on the branches, and the snow in the yard gradually melted. With the arrival of the new year, the mansion returned to its previous peace.

Everyone put on new clothes and the servants performed their duties.

In the corridor, Ningxu, wearing a thick red and white coat, pulled the Third Master and ran towards Grandpa Mo's yard.

On the other side, the three younger generations of the Mo family also came to the yard wearing new clothes and playing, and the two sides met.

Mr. He followed the Third Master, and they walked into Mr. Mo's room together to wish him a happy new year.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"

"Grandpa will live to be a hundred years old this year!"

"Happy New Year, Lord Mo."

Grandpa Mo sat in the main seat, looking at the younger generations in front of him, smiling from ear to ear. "Okay, okay." As he said that, Grandpa Mo took out a stack of red envelopes from his arms, "Come, grandpa will give you red envelopes."

The younger generations were eagerly waiting, and although they were noisy, they followed the rules and signaled to the Third Master to go first.

After all, his identity when he goes out is still the eldest son of the Mo family.

In order to appear more realistic, they still have to follow the order of seniority.

The Third Master felt embarrassed to accept a red envelope at such an adult, so a few people led by Ningxu pushed him forward.

The Third Master finally stood in front of Mr. Mo and called out obediently, "Grandpa."

After all, he was still a fake. He came to pay New Year's greetings out of courtesy and to accompany Ningxu. He still felt a little awkward facing the affection of relatives other than his family.

Mr. Mo smiled and said, "Hey, come on, this is yours."

The Third Master took the red envelope handed over by Grandpa Mo with both hands, "Thank you, Grandpa."

After the Third Master received it, Mo Xiao trotted forward and said, "Grandpa."

Mr. Mo: "Xiao'er, be good."

Mo Xun: "Grandpa~"

Mo Xun called out in a gentle and coquettish manner, causing Old Man Mo to laugh.

Mr. Mo: "My dear grandson~"

Mo Xi: "May Grandpa live a long life!"

Mr. Mo: "Okay! Grandpa loves to hear it!"

Ningxu was the last one. She was still making a fuss when others were getting their red envelopes, but now that it was her turn, she became a little timid.

At this time last year, she was still living in modern times with her adoptive parents. At that time, she was surrounded by her parents, Li Jinze, and Mo Sheng.

just now……

Mr. Mo: "Xiao Liu~, take it!"

Now it’s actually pretty good~

Ningxu: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

The red envelopes for the younger generations have all been distributed, but Mr. Mo still has one in his hand.

He looked at Mr. He who had been standing beside him.

"Xiao He, come here."

Mr. He was delighted at first, but then he felt that at his age, it was a bit embarrassing to receive red envelopes in front of the younger generation.

Mr. He was a little reluctant, "Uncle..."

Mr. Mo: "Come on! This is yours!"

Mr. Mo doesn't care about anything.

Mr. He: “I don’t need it…”

At such an old age...

Several of the younger generations retreated to the door, laughing secretly, and even the Third Master couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Why not? You will always be a child in my eyes!" Mr. Mo acted decisively. He stood up and walked towards Mr. He, stuffing the red envelope into his hand. "Keep it! Spend it now."

Mr. He felt warm in his heart, "Okay, thank you uncle."

After receiving the red envelopes, the five youngsters all rushed out to have fun. Mr. Mo took Mr. He to visit his old friends in Huai'an.

The two men were followed by two guards, holding the holiday gifts that Mr. Mo wanted to give.

Ningxu and the other five people made an appointment to go out to pay New Year's greetings together. Every time they arrived at a place, they were in a hurry and hurried to the next house.

The five people first came to Linjiangxian.

During the time they were in Huai'an, whenever they went out for fun or camping, they would always trouble the owner of Linjiangxian to prepare food for them.

"Happy New Year, shopkeeper!"

When they arrived, the shopkeeper was directing others to set up the table. Seeing that it was them, he hurried over to greet them, "Happy New Year, Master and Miss!"

Ningxu took out a pocket that she had prepared for a long time from her arms and took out a small pendant from it. Hanging below the rope was a small accessory that she had carved during this period of time.

Ningxu: "Boss, this is for you."

The shopkeeper happily took it and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Ningxu prepared a bag of small pendants and ornaments, and would give one to anyone she knew when she met them.

Not long after leaving Linjiangxian, the five people met the miracle doctor who was also walking around the streets paying New Year's greetings.

The doctor was delighted, "Miss Mo! When will you come back for a follow-up visit after the New Year?"

The miracle doctor greeted Ningxu from afar. After much thought, he felt that a special case like Ningxu's should be studied carefully.

Ningxu covered her face slightly in embarrassment, and quickly took out a small pendant from her bag and threw it to the doctor.

Ningxu: "Let's talk about it later! Let's talk about it later! Happy New Year!"

After saying that, Ningxu grabbed the other four people and hurried away.

The doctor took the small pendant and thought it was a New Year's gift.

In the wood carving shop, the master was chatting with customers in the front hall. As the master was old, his craft had to be passed down to his disciples.

Ningxu: "Happy New Year, Master."

Ningxu took out a medium-sized ornament and placed it steadily in the master's palm.

This is the medium-sized ornament she considers to be the best she has ever carved.

The master still smiled kindly, "You are thoughtful."

Ningxu: “Hehe.”

After visiting Ning Xu's acquaintances, the five of them went to visit Mo Xun, Mo Xiao, and Mo Xi's acquaintances.

Because of the disparity in status and the fact that he had been conducting a secret investigation, the Third Master didn't know anyone in Huai'an, so he was just accompanying Ningxu to go through the motions.

Five people were walking on the streets of Huai'an.

Because I will be returning tomorrow, today can be regarded as a farewell to my good friend Huai'an.

What they thought was a New Year's gift was actually a farewell gift.

The streets in the capital are also decorated with lights and colors.

In Prince Mo's Mansion, the eldest son Mo Yong is at the border, the third, fourth and fifth sons are in Huai'an, so there are only two masters, two ladies and the youngest son Mo Tang left at home.

Fortunately, Concubine Ping Mo Sheng missed her family and returned home today. The family had a reunion dinner at noon, and it was lively and not too lonely.

But unexpectedly, before the reunion dinner was over, someone came to report that someone from the palace had come to take Concubine Ping back to the palace.

The maid who came to report was from Prince Mo's mansion. She knew very well that this was inappropriate and her voice was shaking like a human being when she spoke.

The second wife was very unhappy because her daughter had only been back for less than an hour.

As the mistress of the family, the eldest lady's face was not very good. "Who is urging you?"

"Reply... Madam, it's Concubine Lin."

"Heh." The Second Madam sneered, and the atmosphere became even colder. The servants dared not breathe. "She herself is an ungrateful person. She didn't go home for the New Year, but she started to meddle in other people's affairs in the harem."

The emperor is not in the palace, and she, a concubine, wants to be called the king?

The second wife became more and more angry as she thought about it. "She doesn't even know who she is. How dare she shout at me? When I was in charge of the palace, she was still a young girl."
