Chapter 154 Celebrating New Year Alone

 Yan Siyu did not have a good life in the Yang family. This incident made the Yan family feel a little upset, and the joy of the New Year was diluted.

Fortunately, on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Wu of the third room gave birth to another boy. Seeing that the Yan family had another child, the Yan family became happy again.

"Brother, please give your child a name!"

Yan Zhiqiang looked at Yan Zhiyuan with a silly smile.

The eldest brother is like the father. Since his father died, the eldest brother has been the head of the Yan family. He is the one who named all the children in this generation like Wen Xiu.

Yan Zhigao is also full of joy. The more males in the Yan family, it means that the Yan family is becoming more and more prosperous.

"This little guy is a lucky one. Let's call him Wencheng! Success means success. I hope he will become famous when he grows up!"

After Yan Zhiqiang heard this, he immediately laughed from ear to ear.

Inside, Mrs. Wu also showed a satisfied smile.

Their third brother is the weakest in the family. The head of the family is honest and not as smooth and sociable as the second brother. He can only help the family take care of things in the fields.

Fortunately, she was able to give birth, adding three boys to the Yan family, and making the head of the family straighter.

At this moment, the maid came in, holding a food box in her hand: "Madam, the eldest lady has brought you food."

The delivery room was not accessible to women who had not yet left the palace. Daohua gave the food box to the maid, gave a few instructions and left.

Hearing this, the corners of Wu's mouth immediately rose: "It's hard to worry about this girl. During the pregnancy, all kinds of food were sent to me. This delivery was smoother than the previous two. There was no trace of the child after birth.

Out of force."

The maid immediately smiled and said: "Isn't it? I think the eldest girl is nervous about Madam and our seventh master."

Wu smiled: "That's right, this is also her younger brother. Xiao Wencheng, you have to grow up quickly so that you can support your big sister in the future."

Mrs. Li prepared a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family stayed in the old lady's room laughing and laughing.

Yan Zhigao smiled and looked at the happy appearance of the whole family, and felt very happy.

This year there have been a lot of good things going on in the family. First he was promoted to magistrate, then a young prince came to visit, and now there is an imported child in the family. Good things come one after another, making people full of infinite hope and longing.

Thinking of the winter wheat that had been sown, Yan Zhigao was even more excited. If the yield of winter wheat is really as high as the third brother said, then his career will take another step forward.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhigao turned his attention to his eldest daughter.

Looking at the bright smile on his eldest daughter's face, he couldn't help but curl up his lips.

He now understands why others like his eldest daughter so much. Seeing her smile makes people feel better. That smile seems to contain infinite hope.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, families begin to visit relatives and friends.

Early in the morning, Zhou Jingwan came to Yan's house with her family's food.

Daohua looked at her in surprise: "Why didn't you go to your uncle's house?" Zhou Jingwan's maternal grandfather's house is in Jingzhou, which is adjacent to Xingzhou, very close to it.

Zhou Jingwan: "Aren't you going too?"

Daohua: "My uncle's home is in the provincial capital. I have to leave. I won't be able to come back that day." She said with a smile, "But we will go in two days."

Zhou Jingwan raised her head: "Are you going to the provincial capital?"

Daohua nodded: "I haven't been to my uncle's house yet. I received a letter from my uncle two years ago saying that he would take me and my two brothers to stay there for a few days after the new year and come back after the Lantern Festival."

"By the way, I heard that the Lantern Festival in the provincial capital is very lively. Is it true?"

Speaking of the Lantern Festival in the provincial capital, Zhou Jingwan immediately became interested: "Yeah, it's very lively. The lanterns on the street are so beautiful. There are also floats parading through the streets and various juggling performances. I want to go to all the things you mentioned."

Daohua: "Then let's be together!"

Zhou Jingwan shook her head and her face fell: "Not this year, an elder in the Zhou family is celebrating his birthday, and we all have to go to pay homage to him, which happens to miss the Lantern Festival."

Daohua looked regretful, then smiled and said: "If we can't go see the lanterns together this year, then we can go next year. Anyway, there are still many opportunities."

Zhou Jingwan also smiled: "By the way, have your family heard that Governor Guo did not return to Zhongzhou this year?"

Daohua was stunned for a moment: "Doesn't that mean that Xiao Yeyang spent the New Year alone this year?"

Zhou Jingwan nodded and whispered: "I heard from my brother that the Dong family wanted to invite the young prince to their home to celebrate the New Year, but the young prince refused."

"I sometimes think that even though the royal children are enjoying great success outside, they are actually quite pitiful. Take the young prince as an example. Other families are having family reunions, but he is alone in the palace, deserted.

How lonely it is!"

After hearing this, Daohua felt quite uncomfortable.

Zhou Jingwan raised her head and looked at Daohua: "The young prince plays so well with you, do you want to invite him to your home?"

Daohua thought for a moment and shook her head: "I still don't want it anymore."

Zhou Jingwan was surprised: "Why?"

Daohua: "Think about it. Normally when Xiao Yeyang comes to our house, he takes the initiative and is willing to show favor. But now it's the Chinese New Year. How can we invite him at this time and let him see how happy our house is?

Doesn’t it make him feel even more lonely and lonely?”

With Xiao Yeyang's temperament, he is definitely not willing to expose his shortcomings in front of outsiders.

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "That's right. No wonder my grandfather and my brother didn't say they wanted to invite the young prince to our home."

After that, the two chatted about other things.

After Zhou Jingwan left, Daohua was thinking about Xiao Yeyang who was alone in the palace.

......

Li Xingnian arrived on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and stayed one night at Yan's house. The next day, he took Daohua, Yan Wenxiu, and Yan Wentao to the provincial capital by boat.

"You girl, why are you still carrying a food box?"

When boarding the ship, Li Xingnian discovered that Daohua and her maid were each carrying a food box. He suddenly felt dumbfounded: "Why, are you afraid that your uncle won't prepare food for you?"

Daohua smiled and shook her head: "No, I know my uncle and aunt will definitely prepare delicious and fun things at home for us. This... is for others."

Li Xingnian raised his eyebrows: "To whom?"

Daohua put down the food box and then looked at Li Xingnian: "We are going to the provincial capital by boat, and we have to pass Wuhua Mountain on the way, so I thought I would stop by to see the young prince."

Hearing this, Li Xingnian breathed quickly: "What do you mean, go... to see the young prince?"

This is the first time Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wenkai heard Daohua talk about it.

Yan Wenxiu immediately said: "Sister, the young prince lives in the palace. You are not allowed to enter the palace without permission."

Daohua smiled nonchalantly and patted the purse on her waist: "Don't worry, I have the jade pendant given by the young prince, so I can definitely get in."

Yan Wenxiu saw that Daohua had even put on the jade pendant given by the young prince, and immediately stopped talking.

Yan Wenkai asked strangely: "Sister, why are you going to see the young prince?" After saying that, he wanted to reach out and open the food box, but was stopped by Daohua.

Daohua: "The young prince's uncle has not returned to Zhongzhou. He is celebrating the New Year alone in the palace. I will go and see what happened to him!"

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Yan Wenxiu said hurriedly.

Daohua: "What's the use of saying it? He won't come to our house anyway."

On the side, Li Xingnian watched the three brothers discussing Xiao Yeyang with familiarity, and was deeply shocked.
