Chapter 234 Everyone is having New Year’s Eve dinner
Daqi Capital.
Compared to Northland, this place is much more lively. The snow in the streets and alleys has been swept away, all kinds of lanterns are lit, firecrackers and fireworks bloom at the same time, making it noisy and lively.
Not to mention the palace, from the palace banquet dishes to the singing and dancing, to every palace lantern, everything is carefully prepared. These things are prepared months in advance.
At the end of the year, it is time to show the world that under the rule of the emperor, the world is at peace and the sky is majestic.
However, the person who was incompatible with the excitement around him was also the most powerful man in the world sitting on a high seat. He had a dying air about him, as if every breath he took was extremely difficult.
The saint has not been to court for a while. He is nourished with precious decoctions every day. The prince is the one who presides over the ancestor worship in the Ancestral Temple. Tonight, he also forced everyone to kneel down and worship.
He always wants to see the country and prosperity in his hands.
The ministers who came to attend the palace banquet had long ago solemnly warned their relatives not to act too happy, nor to be lifeless, but to behave themselves, otherwise the whole family would be in trouble.
The good news just came from the northern border. The people in the high seats finally raised their eyelids and smiled with satisfaction,
"General Qi and the Imperial Preceptor have indeed lived up to my expectations. God bless Qi."
The people below quickly stood up and knelt down in response, fearing that they would suffer if they moved too slowly.
The old emperor waved his hand, everyone returned to their seats, and the palace banquet continued.
“I heard that the situation in the northwest is worrying. Most of the materials sent by the trading companies were robbed by foreigners. What does the emperor think?”
Facing King Cheng’s provocative gaze, Li Heng He just smiled faintly, pretending he didn't understand, and sarcastically said that he was sending supplies to benefit foreigners. He couldn't admit that the caravan was taking orders from him.
"When two armies fight, it is common for the situation to change. My father also said that God bless the Qi Dynasty."
Really? King Cheng sneered in his heart, General Pang was in the north, but he was looking for an opportunity to cut off the prince's power.
If something goes wrong in the Lu family's army and drags down Da Qi, General Lu may have to hand over his troops and resign.
Compared with the simple and rough New Year's Eve dinner in ordinary people's homes, the palace banquet is magnificent and the air is full of delicious warm fragrance, but there is an undercurrent surging behind it.
Everyone seemed happy, but no one dared to relax for a moment.
The concubine who used to be graceful and dignified, but today she was sitting next to the saint with a smile that was always strange and frightening.
Ever since she knew that the saint had left a secret order to be buried with her, she had been in panic every day. She only hoped that the old thing would last a little longer so that her mother's family could prepare.
It’s hard to get through, she can’t just sit still and wait for death!
At this time, the Northland is thousands of miles away.
Wen Zhi had already used the excuse of recuperating and resting to leave the celebration banquet and returned to the shop with Shen You.
The real new year has just begun.
Under the gentle light, the food stir-fried in the pot steamed out the aroma. Shen You was making dumplings, and Wen Zhi was in charge of cooking the hard dishes.
Shen You first closed the shop in the Daqi plane, and people here in the current world have already started setting off fireworks.
Everyone in the circle of friends sent out New Year's Eve dinner. Shen You looked at the time for a while. It was 7:30, and the meal was just in time for the indispensable Spring Festival Gala program.
This show also has a kind of magic. Even if you don’t want to watch it, you still have to watch it.
She had just taken out the dumplings, put them on a plate, and put them on the table when her cell phone rang with a video call from her parents.
Shen You glanced into the kitchen. In order to facilitate cooking, Wen Zhi changed into modern clothes when he came back.
Make sure there is nothing in the screen that cannot be revealed, and connect the video.
The old couple asked with smiles on their faces, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Come on, there is one last dish." Shen You held the mobile phone and opened the cabinet as he spoke. The white wine was given as a gift.
She just checked online and found that red wine is not suitable for seafood, and white wine is better.
Father Shen and Mother Shen showed the seafood New Year’s Eve dinner they made, saying that the seafood there was cheap, and asked her what dishes she had prepared.
"This is a rich meal! There is also seafood." Shen You turned the camera to look at the dining table.
Not only are the dishes delicious and delicious, but her plates are also very beautiful. Seeing that the dishes on the table looked so good, the couple was stunned for a moment. Didn't they still know Shen You's cooking skills?
Can she cook this table of dishes?
On that plate of dumplings, it looked like she was at her own level.
"You didn't cook the food, did you? Is there anyone else there?" Mother Shen heard the sound at the tip of her ear.
Shen You cleared her throat, "Yes, didn't I say before that I would celebrate the New Year with friends."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhi reminded in a low voice, "You can eat now. ”
Then he took off his apron, sat down next to Shen You, and said with a smile, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Shen You looked at half of his arm in the camera:
Shen You opposite Father Shen and Mother Shen were also stunned. They were silent for a moment. Father Shen asked first, "Who is this?"
Mother Shen reacted very quickly. How could he be an ordinary friend?
“I’m saying hello, please take your phone over a little bit.”
Shen You moved slowly and introduced, "This is also my partner. He cooked the food on the table."
"The young man is a good cook!" Father Shen praised with a smile, "He is also handsome. .”
Mother Shen looked at the people on the screen.
In their impression, what people around them value most is job stability and human integrity.
Can this guy do his job? She whispered to Father Shen, "If you are so beautiful, will you be unreliable?"
After Mother Shen finished speaking, she realized that the mute button had not been pressed. Her expression suddenly froze and she was about to explain.
Wen Zhi smiled brightly and sincerely, "It's reliable, don't worry, Auntie."
"I think so. If you can cook such a large table of dishes, it's not bad." Father Shen said .
In their family, men cook, and girls don’t have to cook at home. This is not good.
“And Xiaoyou has her own opinion, so we don’t have to worry so much.”
Shen You nodded.
"Okay, you can eat first. We have made an appointment with the old couple next door to watch the Spring Festival Gala together. We will go back after a while, and you can invite this young man to your house for a meal."
"Okay." Shen You waved and hung up the call.
"What's your parents' impression of me?" Wen Zhi asked worriedly.
"I think it's pretty good, they are both in a good mood." Shen You smiled, walked to the dining table and sat down, eagerly picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar and took a bite.
The ones you make yourself are delicious.
Her mother was cheated on by relatives in the past, and she had the impression that good-looking men are the best at talking and are unreliable. ”
Shen You never paid attention to this. Those people can introduce her to people who are ten years older and blind dates who say they must have a son.
Reliability has never been about looks. Decision.
Her cousin who got drunk while dancing and broke his hand is just an example.
Before the cousin got married, he actually managed to find a girl with a good family background and good manners through his ability to talk. He couldn't stand the girl's request and couldn't go out to play at night, and she wasn't used to it, so she quickly separated from him after seeing it clearly.
Now that I have money and freedom, I can travel with my friends every day. How happy I am.
Thank you for not falling into this pit.
Shen You also took photos of the New Year’s Eve dinner. Every dish on the table was delicious, including the delicious Eastern Star Spot and the firm lobster.
At the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala, Shen You and Wen Zhi raised their red wines and touched them,
"Happy New Year."
The chandelier above emits soft warm light, reflecting the smiles on their faces. Outside the window, several gorgeous fireworks explode in the cold sky
