Ning Nanyou was wearing a middle-clothed shirt on the side, tying a belt while comforting softly: "The ointment prepared by Aluo has cured my leg disease a lot, and now this little pain is nothing."

Jiang Chengjia looked at him and saw that he was slightly bent his knees and seemed to have difficulty in dressing. He rushed to him, grabbed the outer robe and belt from him, stood beside him, and changed his clothes for him.

Ning Nanyou saw the little expression of complaining and blame on her face, and felt soft, and she smiled and changed her clothes for herself.

She changed the scarlet wide-sleeved skirt she had just worn, and now she was wearing a simple straight-sheen skirt with purple, showing a delicate look, which was completely different from what she had just now.

Jiang Chengjia lowered his head and tied his clothesline for him, hugged his waist, tied his jade belt, and then tidied up his clothes, very seriously, so he never noticed that he was staring at him without turning his eyes.

He stood obediently and let her fiddle with it, enduring the burning pain from his legs and knees without saying a word.

After she finished putting on his clothes, she looked up at him. She saw that his face turned paler than before, and she said worriedly: "Does the legs and knees hurt like this?"

Ning Nanyou looked at the sky outside, shook his head at her and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's getting late. Dou Taijun and his mother are probably going to the front hall. It's always bad if we both ask our elders to wait."

Jiang Chengjia also turned his head and looked out the window, and felt something was wrong, so he nodded and replied, "Let's go."

The two went to the main hall together.

The front hall of Hongfeng Village was several times more lively than usual. Qianshan, in accordance with Jiang Chengjia's order, called all the maids and servants who served in the village, except for the Jingshu who stood guard outside and were not allowed to leave their positions. The servants and maids in the village also had at least fifty or sixty people.

When Ning Nanyou took Jiang Chengjia into the back door of the front hall, he saw so many people sitting in the yard in front of the hall. He was also a little surprised and turned around and asked Jiang Chengjia, "Are all the people in the yard here?"

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "They are here, taking care of the garden all year round, and some of them are not allowed to contact their families outside because of our reasons. Since they cannot reunite with their families on New Year's Eve, they will simply... let them have a meal with us."

He saw a touch of tenderness in her eyes, and also saw the difference in how she treated those maids and servants.

Ordinary wealthy families treat their servants like grass, and their masters don’t care about their lives or death. In other words, the masters just regard their servants as a must and symbol of wealth, and do not regard them as human beings, but as things that can be sold at a low price.

Jiang Chengjia is different, and she always takes into account their ideas on weekdays. Therefore, the servants and maids in Hongfeng Village respect and love her, Mrs. Hou, very much. This is why she attracted Ning Nanyou.

Ning Nanyou has been used to the scenes of beating, scolding, torture and killing servants and maids since he was a child. He was a little numb to these things. Subconsciously, he might not care about the joys, anger, sorrows, and joys of these small servants, thinking that they were just slaves and accessories to power.

It was Jiang Chengjia who told him that as long as he was an individual, he would have his own joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

No one is anyone's puppet. If they treat them with respect and concern, they will inevitably be more obedient and obedient to the master's family.

Ning Nan thought about these things silently in his heart, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Dou Taijun turned sideways and saw Ning Nanyou holding Jiang Chengjia towards the table. Seeing Jiang Chengjia wearing a dark purple straight-hem skirt with a tinted makeup on his forehead, he said strangely: "A Luo? What about the scarlet wide-sleeved fairy skirt I gave you in the afternoon? Why didn't I wear it?"

Jiang Chengjia trembled slightly, and when she remembered the scene just now, her face turned slightly red. The skirt was pulled by Ning Nanyou so that the inner sleeve could not match the outer sleeve, and it was wrinkled and could not be worn out at all. But how could she explain this to Dou Taijun?

Just when she didn't know how to answer, Ning Nanyou replied: "Grandma... Aluo just wet her skirt in order to change the dressings for my legs and knees... Then he changed one set temporarily."

Seeing the young man smiling intentionally or unintentionally, something seemed to be hidden in his deep and dark eyes.

Dou Taijun couldn't see what the couple was beating Xiaojiujiu in their hearts, so he didn't continue to ask, and whispered: "Since that's the case... let's have a meal?"

When Qianshan heard the sound, she brought Shuihe, Black Tea, Xiaocui and Jique slowly walked up with the New Year's Eve meal.

Jiang Chengjia carefully sat in the hall, and Ning Nanyou put his hands on his knees, enduring the biting coldness on his legs.

Soon, she noticed his strength, so she quietly wrapped the hand stove in her arms with a layer of silk scarf and stuffed it into his hands.

A faint fragrance drifted into Ning Nanyou's nose. The warm heat immediately spread from his legs and knees.

When eating on the table, Jiang Chengjia always asked Qianshan to change to a warmer hand stove every two or three dishes, and then quietly stuffed it to him. After a while, Ning Nanyou felt that the biting pain in his knees had improved a lot.

Today, it was New Year's Eve, but Dou Yueshan, who was sitting on the left side of the main hall, seemed to be in a bad mood, sitting at the innermost side and drinking depressedly.

At the beginning, Jiang Chengjia had not noticed it yet, but the further he went, the more he felt that Dou Yueshan was getting worse and worse. He drank more and more, and gradually became uncontrollable. He had never sipped the ten dishes in front of him, and only drank alcohol.

She felt very strange, so she quietly touched Ning Nanyou with her elbow and said, "Erlang... Look, what's wrong with Zi said? Why are you unhappy?"

Ning Nanyou followed her eyes and looked at Dou Yueshan. Seeing his drooping eyebrows, he replied: "Maybe... Uncle Dou is coming... he is not happy? This afternoon, a letter came from the capital, which was sent in a hurry from the Marquis of Anping."

Jiang Chengjia was even more confused and said, "This matter... I didn't know about it recently. Monthly ago... Isn't it that my grandmother had just arrived? After the New Year, Uncle Dou will personally pick them up and return to the mansion?"

Ning Nanyou then shook his head and said, "There is only one reason I can guess. The Master said... He is like me, not valued by his father. His relationship with Uncle Dou is very bad."

Jiang Chengjia intuition believed that Dou Yueshan was not worried because Dou Xunfen was about to come to congratulate, but because of his mysterious and inexplicable life experience.

These days, Dou Taijun never mentioned to her what she overheard that evening. Dou Yueshan seemed to have never investigated the matter again, and she played with them all day long, as if nothing had happened.

But the more this happens, the more abnormal it becomes.

Thinking about Dou Yueshan was still very happy this morning. She was so depressed at this moment. What must have happened in the afternoon.

Although she agreed to Dou Taijun that she would not be curious about Dou Yueshan's life experience, nor did she look at the events of that year, but she still had some hopes to find the answer in her heart.

Because of Dou Taijun's attitude at that time, she vaguely felt that Dou Yueshan's secret life experience might have some relationship with Ning Nanyou. Otherwise, Dou Taijun would not have specifically told her, so don't mention this matter in front of Ning Nanyou.

Her whispers to Ning Nanyou were seen by Dou Taijun sitting in the upper seat. She asked, "A Luo? Zhaoyuan? What else do you and your wife say to me? Staring at some time... It's time to greet you!"

Jiang Chengjia trembled unconsciously, subconsciously approaching Dou Taijun's eyes, as if she had read a warning from her experience-filled black eyes.

She restrained her curiosity and was about to answer. When she glanced at me, she saw Mrs. Cao, who was sitting on the lower left side of Dou Taijun, not very happy at this time, so the wine became even more strange.

How could these two people meet together at the right time?

She was thinking for a while, but gradually realized that someone was touching her back with her arm. So she came to her senses, turned around and looked back, but saw Ning Nanyou blinking at the seat.

Jiang Chengjia immediately turned around and looked at Dou Taijun. It seemed that her gaze that had been on Mrs. Cao for too long just now made Dou Taijun a little unhappy.

She hurriedly carried the teacup and said to Dou Taijunjing: "Grandma...Great-grandson-in-law is ignorant...I just left my mind and didn't pay attention to your words..."

Dou Taijun held back the smile in his eyes. Although the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised, it was not a sincere smile.

In the yard in front of the hall, the servants were having a good time eating.

But for some reason, a strange and deserted atmosphere appeared in the hall inexplicably.

The six people sat in the hall, waiting for the meal at the table to cool down. After Qianshan and Xiao Cui and others took them all down.

Mrs. Cao became a little uncomfortable, and Dou Yueshan, who was sitting slanted down from the hall, was also drunk.

Dou Taijun sighed, "Zi said, this child is really not worry-free. Now he is so drunk that he delays setting off firecrackers. What should I do if I wish you New Year and stay up to you?"

Ning Nanyou glanced at Dou Yueshan who was already drunk on the table, and then smoothed the scene for him and said to Dou Taijun: "Grandma... I haven't drunk for too long, so I lost my time when I drink it. Now it's still far from the time when firecrackers are set off in the capital! Why don't you let Zhaoyuan help him back to his room and take a nap, and call him up when he's going to eat dumplings?"

He said this specifically, but he didn't expect that Dou Taijun said, "In this way... I'll let the servant help him back to the room... You sit in front of the hall, no need to worry about him."

Ning Nanyou didn't continue talking. He knew that Dou Taijun did not want him to take this opportunity to ask Dou Yueshan why she was drinking so drunk on New Year's Eve today.

Jiang Chengjia knew what Ning Nanyou meant, and she felt even more strange when Dou Taijun was always guarding against the couple.

If Dou Yueshan knew the secret, it had nothing to do with Ning Nanyou, and Dou Taijun would not do anything to prevent Dou Yueshan from contacting Ning Nanyou alone at this moment.

The reason why she did this was nothing more than fear that Dou Yueshan would be obsessed with this, and might say something she shouldn't say in front of Ning Nanyou.
