Gu Honglian cursed with a gloomy expression, "Is this a trivial matter? You do nothing at home except reading. It would be fine if you could study well, but you failed the exam three times."

"Since you're so capable, just show it. Don't always try to outdo me. Go out and find a job tomorrow. We don't want useless people in our family."

With her nephew as a comparison, Gu Honglian's patience with Fan Tong is running out.

She would never allow Fan Tong to read at home again.

Fan Tong has to go out to work and earn money.

Fan Tong originally wanted to continue fighting back, but feeling the unfriendly looks from Gu Dashu and Gu Dahan, he swallowed the anger from Gu Honglian.

He told himself that a real man should know how to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

He remembered the humiliation his wife had given him today, and when he became rich, the first thing he would do was divorce her.

It is certainly not easy to divorce Gu Honglian because he has the support of Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe, but he can take in several beautiful concubines.

As long as he is valuable enough, Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe will turn a blind eye to it.

Fan Tong felt that he would definitely win in the future through the method of spiritual victory.

"Just spill a plate of dumplings, don't let it affect everyone's New Year celebrations." Tong Huaqiong shouted outside.

"The dumplings are here."

Su Chengmin strode into the house with dumplings in his hand.

"These dumplings smell so delicious," said Zhao.

Plates of dumplings were placed on the table. Everyone had already eaten their New Year’s Eve dinner, but seeing the hot dumplings in front of them made them feel hungry again.

"Come, Prince, eat first."

After the men in the kitchen finished their work and came in, everyone sat around the table again.

Tong Huaqiong picked up the dumplings and placed them on the plate in front of the prince.

"Whoever eats the one with the copper coins first will have good luck for the whole year," said Tong Huaqiong.

In order to bring good luck, a few copper coins were wrapped in the dumplings.

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince spat out a copper coin.

"Xiaolong has eaten it."

"Xiaolong will have good luck in the coming year."

Maner and Yaozu clapped their hands and congratulated the prince for being the first to eat the copper coin dumplings.

The crown prince laughed along.

He saw it clearly just now. When Tong Huaqiong picked up a dumpling for him, she just picked up one at random.

What's more, the dumplings are exactly the same and there are no markings, so who knows which one has the copper coin inside?

He believed that he was the luckiest man.

Tong Huaqiong said: "It's not just one year, every year from now on will have good luck."

As I was speaking, I felt something hitting my back teeth.

When she spit it out, she saw that she had also eaten the copper coin dumpling.

“I ate it, too.”

Maner was the third one to eat it.

Soon after, Gu Taohua and Lu Zhaozhao also ate it.

With so many people eating it, everyone became more excited and wanted to eat the copper coin dumplings for good luck.

Soon, Gu Jingzhe, Gu Dahan, Gu Xiaoxue and others all had their meals. Gu Dashu, who had never had any food and thought he had no chance of good luck, finally had his meal after he finished the last dumpling.

"I got it. My younger brother Gu Jingzhe will definitely be on the list of successful candidates in the spring exam." Gu Dashu looked excited.

He felt that at this stage nothing was more important than Gu Jingzhe's success in the imperial examinations.

The family is not short of money or property now, but what it lacks is fame and honor, which Gu Jingzhe will surely make up for in the spring examination.

It was strange that everyone except Fan Tong got to eat the copper coin dumplings.

Fan Tong looked lost and smiled awkwardly.

But Gu Honglian said to him, "Husband, we are one as husband and wife. If I get a good fortune, it means you get a good fortune. As the saying goes, a wife is honored by her husband. This means you will have a promising future."

These words made Fan Tong extremely depressed.

Since he had such good luck, why didn't he get it, but Gu Honglian got it instead?

Tong Huaqiong and Fan Tong were puzzled as they didn't get to eat the copper coin dumplings.

The last dumpling left in the bowl was eaten by Gu Dashu. Tong Huaqiong didn't understand where the dumpling worth a copper coin went?

She was not a stingy person. Since she wanted to please the lucky draw, she packed the copper coins according to the number of people.

Finally the case was solved. It turned out that when eating dumplings, the pug that the prince gave to Man'er crawled under the table, and Man'er picked up a dumpling and fed it.

The dumpling with the copper coin was eaten by the pug.

The pug spat out the copper coin, which rolled to Maner's feet.

Maner lowered her head, pointed at the copper coin, and said, "My puppy also had good luck. It ate the dumpling with the copper coin."

Everyone: "..."

Fan Tong's face turned green.

It turns out he is worse than a dog.

"Let's go set off some fireworks."

Through the window, they could see the nearby people setting off fireworks, so Maner pulled the prince out.

Gu Taohua is very playful and wants to set off the fireworks herself.

Su Chengmin came to the yard with her and helped her set off fireworks.

Beautiful fireworks rose into the sky and then bloomed in mid-air.

Tong Huaqiong and others stood in the corridor and looked up at the sky. It turned out that the palace had gathered the best fireworks masters in the world. The fireworks they made were gorgeous and varied, with not only various flower patterns, but also lifelike animal patterns.

The sky above the entire yard was filled with brilliant fireworks.

"I will accompany you to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day. The Shengjing Lantern Festival will have the most beautiful lanterns in the world." Su Chengmin said to Gu Taohua.

Gu Taohua turned her head to look at Su Chengmin. The light from the exploding fireworks made Gu Taohua's eyes sparkle, and Su Chengmin was stunned.

"Aren't you on duty on the Lantern Festival?"

For Shengjing, the most important thing during the bustling Lantern Festival is to prevent fire and prevent people from causing trouble during the hustle and bustle.

At that time, the entire Imperial Guard will be dispatched for patrol.

Su Chengmin said, "I've already made arrangements. I'll take two hours to go shopping with you."

Gu Taohua smiled and nodded. The wind blew snowflakes onto her hair on her forehead.

Su Chengmin couldn't help but reach out and brush away the snow on Gu Taohua's forehead.

Gu Taohua's face was red.

Fan Tong felt sour when he saw the intimate interaction between Su Chengmin and Gu Taohua.

I regret missing Gu Taohua again.

As the leader of the Royal Guard, the most important quality is to be sharper than ordinary people. Su Chengmin suddenly felt a gaze coming at him.

He looked in the direction of his gaze.

Fan Tong, who was hiding in the corridor, was accidentally caught by Su Chengmin and had to turn his head away.

Gu Honglian also noticed Fan Tong's movements. She didn't know what to say in front of her sister-in-law. She was mainly afraid of angering her sister-in-law and Gu Taohua, and they would be kicked out.

"Fan Tong, do you want to die? This is the third time you've peeked at Taohua. Do you think I'm dead and can't tell what you're thinking? You'd better stop now. If my sister-in-law and Taohua find out, you're dead. You want to be kicked out in the middle of winter, don't get me into trouble."

"Don't even think about it. Don't even think about whether you're worthy of my niece. Just be a good uncle. If I catch you peeking at Gu Taohua again, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Honglian approached Fan Tong, and the reminder voice next to his ear was like a ghost.

In fact, Fan Tong didn't need to wait for Gu Honglian to remind him. After seeing Su Chengmin's terrifying eyes, he was already scared.
