Seeing Chen Danxia suddenly bang, Xu Lang was shocked, "Jiu'er, where do you start?" He swore that he had never had a second thought and had never thought of taking a concubine to find another woman.

"Where to start? Is it good to start with the smell of powder on you? I have never liked to use powder. The people around me have never used powder since I got pregnant. Let me tell you, where did the powder on your body come from? The smell is so stinking." Chen Danxia asked coldly.

"Powder?" Xu Lang was confused and lowered his head and smelled it. It did have a faint smell of powder, but how could it have a powder smell? After thinking about it, Xu Lang quickly explained, "The eldest prince came in the afternoon. He was carrying a powdered eunuch next to him. The eunuch tripped and I helped him. It should have been stained at that time."

"Is that true?" Chen Danxia asked suspiciously. Is there such a person beside Gao Ju?

"The eunuch was rewarded to the eldest prince by the Empress not long ago." Xu Lang reached out to hug her, "Madam, it's enough for me to have you. I need another one. I'm afraid I'll be worse than death."

"Don't touch me before taking a shower." Chen Danxia patted his hand and widened his almond eyes, "I heard what you mean, if you can, it doesn't matter if you can?"

"How is it possible? I am born stupid. I can marry you a wife with outstanding appearance and extraordinary intelligence, thanks to the emperor's imperial edict." Xu Lang said with a smile.

"Good mouth and smooth tongue." Chen Danxia pounded him lightly, "Go to take a shower quickly, I can't smell the stench on your body."

"Yes, yes, I'll go now." Xu Lang got up and went to the bathroom.

Chen Danxia looked at his left back and raised the corners of his lips. She believed that Xu Lang had not provoked other women. Occasionally, he was just a little fun between the couple, and just regarded it as a wake-up call for Xu Lang.

On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, Xu Kui wrote Spring Festival couplets in his study and arranged for the servants to send them to the yard to paste. Chen Danxia sat on the kang and ate tangerines, and the Fu Mazi directed the servants in the yard to carry them around. When Xu Lang came back at noon, the yard was full of prosperity and a New Year atmosphere.

When he entered the warm pavilion, he saw Chen Danxia sitting on the kang watching the piano playing the piano and cutting the window flowers. Xu Lang smiled and took out a window flowers from behind and handed them to her, "Let's see if you like it?"

Chen Danxia stuffed the last petal of tangerine in his hand into his mouth. It was a blessing to see that the five bats were cut to life, with a round copper coin in the middle. He asked with a smile: "Where did you get it?"

"I came from my grandmother, who would guess cut it?" Xu Lang frowned and swallowed the orange petals, "Don't you feel sour in this orange?"

"I don't think so." Chen Danxia shook his head and raised his hand outside the window, "Is it possible that my grandmother cut it?"

"It was cut by my grandmother." Xu Lang smiled.

"Grandma's hand is so clever. I will learn to cut it with my grandmother next year." Chen Danxia was pregnant and could not move a sharp weapon. Chen Danxia put the window flowers into the book and kept them, not going to post them.

The next day, the emperor won the pen and sealed the government offices, and began a ten-day annual leave. Unfortunately, this annual leave was destined to be unsuccessful. On the 28th, news came from the palace that the emperor was seriously ill and coma, and his life was in vain. Except for the eldest prince Gao Ju who stayed in Jindu, the emperor, Empress Zhao, brought other princesses of the royal family, as well as all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital, to the palace by the Imperial Guard. Xu Lang, the deputy envoy, went there together.

Due to the urgent situation, the emperor ordered that all ceremonial wars be exempted and left the city immediately. Xu Lang was not good at leaving his post without any trouble, so he beat Chang Yan back and told Mrs. Xu and Shen Danxia that he could not go home for the New Year this year. This was the first New Year since the two got married. Chen Danxia certainly hoped that Xu Lang would be with her, but the emperor's orders were difficult to violate, so he simply packed up a few pieces of luggage and asked Chang Yan to take it to him.

Xu Kui ordered people to open the ancestral hall, clean up, pack up the offerings, and ask the Lord of God to clean up the room to prepare for the images of the offerings. The mansion was busy. On the morning of New Year's Eve, Gao Ju rewarded some things to Xu's mansion on the grounds that Xu Lang escorted the emperor to another palace for his hard work during the New Year holiday, and named these things to Xu Lang's legitimate wife Shen.

The rewards included various brocades, cloud satin, silk satin, leather, two boxes of tribute beads, four handles of agate mirror, thirty pieces of green flower ornaments, and ten volumes of books. Seeing ten volumes of books, Chen Danxia was stunned for a moment. What does the eldest prince mean? Let her read more books?

After looking through the ten books, Chen Danxia understood what Gao Ju meant, because there were two manuscripts of Zhang Shancong. In order to deal with Gao Ju, he told Gao Ju about Zhang's treasures. Now Gao Ju is dead, so Gao Ju thinks he is determined to win this batch of treasures. Is this considered rejecting tigers at the front door and waiting for wolves at the back door?

Chen Danxia pinched his eyebrows and put the two manuscripts together with other manuscripts. She was speechless about this time travel senior, "Send these leather materials and tribute beads to the courtyard to the old lady, put other things into the warehouse, and let's talk about them after the Chinese New Year." With a big belly, she really didn't have the energy to divide things.

Shiqin agreed, and went out to register simply while asking the servants to move their things into the warehouse.

Jinshu walked in, "Young grandma, someone comes from the old lady, please go to the ancestral hall."

Chen Danxia held his stomach, and with the help of Mo Shi Mowang, he slowly stood up, put on a blue-purple wind-haired cloak, put on a snow cap, took the hand stove handed over by Mo Shu,

The door was in the sedan chair. The snow on the road had been cleaned up and the snow was sprinkled with salt; but when passing a bend, the thick sedan chair in front made the woman slip and lean to the left, and the sedan chair fell to the left as well.

Mo Si held the sedan and the old woman in time. Chen Danxia in the sedan was slightly tilted and was not frightened. He made the old woman stabilize her body and immediately said: "There is ice on the road."

"Continue moving forward, Mo Li, go find Mo Mama Shou and let her come over and see what's going on?" Chen Danxia's calm voice came from the sedan chair.

"Yes, young grandma." Mo Li replied.

The sedanxia arrived at the ancestral hall safely. Chen Danxia got out of the sedan and walked slowly in. The people in the Xu family's second and third bedrooms had arrived, and the people in the third bedroom were all wearing plain clothes. Chen Danxia glanced at Chen Gong's concubine and captured the disappointment that flashed through her eyes. Chen Danxia curled her lips and smiled. The frozen place just now seemed not made of natural, but artificial.

When Mrs. Xu saw that Chen Danxia had arrived, Zhengyan said, "Nine Girl, come here and stand behind grandmother, Zhenniang, you stand behind your third aunt."

Chen Meigu's face changed slightly, "Mother, where am I standing?"

"You stand behind Zhenniang." Mrs. Xu said calmly.

"Mother, I am the elders, they are the younger generations. If you ask me to stand behind them, are you confused?" Shen Gong was so angry that he spoke without hesitation.

"Although they are juniors, they are their original wife, and you are the second wife." Mrs. Xu said coldly. Mrs. Xu shook her head lightly. Her old sister-in-law has been stubborn for decades.

The original wife and the second wife are the two words that Chen Meiwei didn't want to hear the least, but they are the most useful words used by Mrs. Xu to attack her. Chen Meiwei looked at Xu Kui for help, but unfortunately Xu Kui lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't receive it. Chen Meiwei had to be defeated.

The people of Xu's family lined up in Zhaomu. Xu Kui was the priest and Xu Wei accompanied him. Because Xu Lang was absent, Xu Chao topped the priest and offered sacrifices, kowtowed three times, burned silk and blew wine, and after the ceremony, he withdrew. The old lady Xu looked at Mo Si, "You two are holding Jiu Yat."

"Old lady, please rest assured. I will definitely help Grandma San and will never let Grandma San make any mistakes." Mo Si said loudly.

Mrs. Xu smiled and led everyone to the main hall to sacrifice the portraits of the ancestors of the Xu family. In the middle were hanging the portraits of the ancestors of the Xu family and his wife. The sacrificial vegetables were placed on the sacrificial table one by one. After the ceremony, Xu Kui and other men withdrew, and the female relatives surrounded the two old ladies and went to the room.

The upper room was covered with brand new red felt, and there was a three-legged copper gilt brazier in it. The fire in the brazier was burning red. The kang was also covered with new scarlet felt, and there were big red embroidered pillows with a wish-full pillow. Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu sat on it.

"Jiu Girl, don't stand, sit down next to my grandmother and rest. I'm so tired after tossing for so long, aren't you?" Mrs. Xu always paid attention to Chen Danxia.

"It's okay." Chen Danxia walked to Mrs. Xu with a smile and sat down.

Chen Pei and her two sisters-in-laws of her generation sat on a chair a little later. Sun Zhenniang used a tea tray to hold tea to the two grandmothers, and then Chen Peiwu and her two aunts. The maids brought tea to the others. After having tea and chatting for a few words, Mrs. Xu Er led the female relatives from her room to leave, and then Mrs. Xu Er led the people from her room to say goodbye.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Close the door and lock it, let's have New Year's Eve dinner!"

Chen Danxia burst out laughing and said, "After the New Year's Eve dinner, you can ask my grandmother for New Year's money. Grandma, can I ask for three servings?"

Mrs. Xu patted the back of her hand lightly and scolded, "You greedy little girl."

Chen Danxia rubbed her shoulder and shouted in a delicate voice: "Grandma."

"Okay, three portions are only three portions." Mrs. Xu twisted her nose and glanced at the other three granddaughters-in-law, "I hope that next year, you three can also ask the old woman for three New Year's money."

Qin and Wang reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and they thought, but unfortunately, they had been married for so many years, but their stomachs were not moving. I don’t know why?

Sun Zhenniang touched her stomach and didn't come this month. I wonder if she was pregnant. It was difficult to hire a doctor during the Chinese New Year, and it was still short. When the night went out, she asked the doctor to take the pulse.

The maid came in and reported to Sun Zhenniang that she could go to the table to have the New Year's Eve dinner. The family moved to the hall to sit down. The men and women were naturally separated. Chen Danxia sat on the left side of Mrs. Xu, and Chen Nei was sitting on the right side. Sun Zhenniang and others also sat down one after another. After Xu Kui announced the start of the meal, the girls carrying the food box entered one after another. However, the New Year's Eve dinner was not completed, and the bells came from outside.

How could the bell in the bell tower be ringed at this time? Xu Kui immediately got up and walked to the door, "Go out and find out what happened?"

The manager took the order and left.
