After having some fun, the sky gradually darkened and Su Qing busied herself with preparing other things for the heavens. Mu Yunyao was bored to death as she sat at the window and watched the snowman outside.
Firecrackers and fireworks were being set off outside. Su Qing, Supervisor Qin, and the others laid out incense sticks. A group of people went into the courtyard to offer their blessings to the heavens. Mu Yunyao couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart. It's said that being frugal is easy, but being extravagant is difficult, the ancients didn't bully me, and when she dragged her broken leg along, she had to find firewood in the snow, if not Madame Li would not give her food. At that time ...
When the cold wind blew, it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Feeling Mu Yunyao's mood darken for a moment, King Yue silently glanced at her before striding to her side, blocking the cold wind coming from the north.
Mu Yunyao felt the wind that was blowing against her body suddenly lessen. She turned her head to look at Yue Wang, only to see that he was staring at the altar with no expression on his face. She didn't care and stood behind Su Qing as she kowtowed to the heavens.
The weather was cold, but the night sky was covered with stars. It looked deep and cold, causing Mu Yunyao's heart to tremble, and she couldn't help but associate it with King Yue's eyes. She suddenly trembled, secretly making up her mind that if she didn't have the spirit in the future, she would think of King Yue.
"Today, I offer my blessings to the heavens. I hope that the next year will be smooth sailing and that my family will be happy and well!"
Su Qing didn't say any extravagant blessings, but Mu Yunyao was exceptionally serious when she heard it. She repeated it a few times before respectfully kowtowing to Su Qing.
After the sacrifice was over, Su Qing relaxed and quickly called for Si Qin, Jin Lan and the others to help her carry the food to the kitchen. After blessing the heaven and earth, the rest of the time was left for people to celebrate the New Year.
Su Qing and Mu Yunyao usually did not emphasize the rules. Since it was New Year's Eve now, the entire courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement.
Su Qing took out the red seal again, causing Jin Lan, Si Qin, and the others to cheer.
Mu Yunyao had used her status to snatch the thickest one, and the corners of her eyes were filled with pride.
Su Qing tapped between her eyebrows and said helplessly, "You!"
Mu Yunyao quickly followed up, "I'm the best. This year's fortune is good!"
"Miss sure is blessed with good fortune. On the new year, she won all of our winnings."
Mu Yunyao glanced at King Yue from the corner of her eyes."Don't spout nonsense, the main culprit who won your money is by your side!"
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao couldn't help but stick out their tongues. They were scared to the point that they still had lingering fears from the look in King Yue's eyes. They didn't dare to go over and make fun of him.
Su Qing spread out the red envelope and took out another one from her sleeve. She walked up to the Titan King and handed it to him, "Young Master Ning, if you address me as elder, then I will definitely give you a red envelope. I hope that next year's fortune will be great and fortune will be great."
King Yue's eyes suddenly moved. He looked at Su Qing and felt helpless. His precious hands received the red seal. His expression was especially gentle."Thank you Madam."
Steward Qin rubbed his eyes and felt his heart ache. This was probably the first time that the king had received a red letter in so many years. He really hoped that the next year would bring more hardships, more deaths, and more than anything else.
Yu Heng and Yu Yi were also exceptionally happy. They hadn't thought that even they would receive a red packet. They couldn't help but send their gazes over to Steward Qin. This Madam Su had already red seals. Even the Prince's side couldn't be so petty!
Supervisor Qin took out the red envelope he had prepared earlier and passed it to Mu Yunyao."Miss Mu, this is my gift to you, please do not turn your back on it."
Mu Yunyao happily received it. She touched the thickness of the red seal and was slightly surprised in her heart."Thank you, Supervisor Qin." The silver taels inside were about several thousand taels.
Seeing her accept it, Steward Qin's smile became even more radiant. He then took out a small red seal and distributed it to Jin Lan and the others.
"Madam, Miss, you can begin."
Mu Yunyao was already thinking about the coincidental bun outside. Seeing that Nan'er had brought the things in, she hurriedly went to look for her rabbit, but didn't expect that someone would be faster than her. She didn't even wait for her to step forward before grabbing the rabbit.
Mu Yunyao looked at King Yue's hand and felt a chill behind her back, as if she had already become the rabbit in his hand that could be rubbed into a ball and swallowed at any time. When Su Qing saw that the King of Assassins liked sweet buns, she couldn't help but recall Steward Qin's words about not having a mother since he was young. As she gestured for everyone to sit down, she said to the King of Assassins, "This just happens to be a little cold, so we can put it next to the small stove to roast for a while. When the time comes, the entire outer skin will be roasted until it is crisp and fragrant.
"It tastes the best when it's time."
When Mu Yunyao heard these words, she felt a wave of unease spread across her body. How could her mother stand up to outsiders? Whose food is it always? "
Just as she finished speaking, she saw that Titan had already bit down on the rabbit's head, devouring half of its head.
Seeing Mu Yunyao staring at him, Yue Wang raised his hand and innocently said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know ......"
Don't listen to Yao'er's nonsense, how can there be such a rule? Just eat whoever you like, "Su Qing hurriedly comforted King Fu. After that, he secretly glared at Mu Yunyao and casually placed a bun in her hands, " Isn't there a lot more to eat? Mu Yunyao looked at the tiger with the word "King" on its head and did her best to suppress the strange feeling in her heart. She bit off the tiger's ear and that fierce look gave Su Qing a fright. She quickly poured a cup of warm water for her, "Don't be anxious.
"He's so old and yet so childish."
Mu Yunyao looked at the deaf tiger in her hands, its fat body had tiger stripes on it, and it looked even more foolish. She only felt that this was made personally by King Yue, and if she were to take it out in two years, it would be worth thousands of gold.
She was busy fighting with the tiger, but she did not realize that there was a smile in King Fu's eyes.
Steward Qin smiled as he drank the wine. He felt that the wine tonight was extremely intoxicating, causing his eyes to burn.
Yu Yi lightly nudged Yu Heng from the side, hinting him in the direction of the Wing King."Take a look?"
Yu Heng took a glance and was a little confused. He thought he also wanted to eat the bun, so he reached out his hand and carelessly handed it over: "Here you go." Yu Yi only felt a gust of strong wind pass by his face as he quickly brought the cat shaped bun in his hand to Yue Yang: "Master Fourth, I see that you aren't full yet. Eat this, it looks delicious."
